George has a wooden board that is 3 1/4 feet long. He needs to cut it into sections that are 3/4 foot long. How many sections can he cut from this board?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the number of sections that can be cut from the board, we need to divide the length of the board by the length of each section.
George has a board that is 3 1/4 feet long, or 3.25 feet.
Each section is 3/4 of a foot, or 0.75 feet long.
To find the number of sections, we divide the length of the board by the length of each section:
3.25 feet / 0.75 feet = 4.333333333333333
Since we can't have a fraction of a section, we round down to the nearest whole number.
George can cut 4 sections from this board. Answer: \boxed{4}.
