Question

Mr. Jones is making a small fence for his garden. He has a board that is 12.2 feet long and 4 inches wide. He wants each panel of the fence to be 4 inches wide and 8 inches high. How many panels can he make from the boa

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit.

12.2 feet = 146.4 inches

Next, we need to determine how many 8-inch high panels can be made from the board.

146.4 inches / 8 inches = 18.3 panels

Since Mr. Jones can't make a fraction of a panel, he can make 18 panels from the board.
