Denny has 7/8 feet of lumber. To make one molding he needs 1/3 feet of lumber. How many moldings can he make?
Answers

7/8 feet available
1/3 feet for every 1 molding(s)
(7/8)/(1/3) = 21/8 (or) 2.625
He could make 2.625 moldings. Since it is not possible, It is just 2 moldings. (You cannot make .625 moldings)

(7/8) / (1/3)
(7/8) * (3/1) = 21/8 = 2
(7/8) * (3/1) = 21/8 = 2
