Answer:6 pieces can be cut and there will be no leftover wood

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the wooden rod = 4 ft.

Length of the pieces of wood to be cut = 2/3 ft.

No. Of pieces can be cut = 4 / (2/3)

= 6 pieces

Hence the no. of pieces are not in decimal that indicates there is no leftover wood
