1. Corey needs 24 boards that are 47.5 inches How many feet of board should he buy and then explain.

2. If you can only buy 8 foot boards, how many should he buy? and then explain.
Answered by Ms. Sue
1.
(24 * 47.5) / 12 = ?

2.
8 * 12 = 96 inches

96 / 47.5 = 2.02

He can get two 47.50-inch lengths out of each 8-foot board. So he needs 12-foot boards.

Answered by lia
this one is easy so you need to:To answer part A, we multiply 24 boards by 47.5 inches to get 1,140 inches, which is 95 feet of boards. To answer part B, we know that an 8-foot board is 96 inches, so we can divide 1,140 by 96 to get 11.875 boards that Corey must buy, but since he can only buy 8-foot boards, he will have to buy a total of 12
