First, we need to calculate the area of each big piece of wood:
Big piece of wood area = length x width x height
Big piece of wood area = 4 ft x 2 ft x 0.5 ft
Big piece of wood area = 4 ft x 2 ft x 0.5 ft
Big piece of wood area = 4 ft x 1 ft
Big piece of wood area = 8 ft²
Next, we need to calculate the total area of the fenced area:
Fenced area = length x width
Fenced area = 12 ft x 8 ft
Fenced area = 96 ft²
Then, we can calculate the maximum number of big pieces of wood that can fit in the fenced area:
Maximum number of big pieces of wood = Fenced area / Big piece of wood area
Maximum number of big pieces of wood = 96 ft² / 8 ft²
Maximum number of big pieces of wood = 12
Therefore, the most big pieces of wood that the salesperson could fit in the fenced area is 12.
A wood salesperson has a fenced area in which they keep all their wood to keep it
organized. The area itself is 12 ft. long and 8 ft. wide. The fence is 8 ft. high. They
have bigger pieces of wood that are 4 ft. long and 2 ft. wide and smaller pieces of wood
that are 2 ft. long and 1 ft. wide. Each piece of wood is 6 in., or ½ ft., tall.
2. If the salesperson put all big pieces of wood in the fenced area, what is the most
that they could fit?
