8 / (3/4) =
8 * (4/3) = 32/3 = 10 2/3
The remaining piece is 2/3 foot.
8 * (4/3) = 32/3 = 10 2/3
The remaining piece is 2/3 foot.

No way to divide an integer by multiples of 1/4 and end up with a multiple of 1/3 left over.
no, the remaining piece is 2/3 of one section
2/3 * 3/4 = 1/2
That is, 10 pieces = 30/4 feet, leaving 2/4 feet remaining.
