George has a wooden board that is 3 1/4 feet long. He needs to cut it into sections that are 3/4 foot long. How many sections can he cut from this board?

4 answers

To determine the number of sections that can be cut, we need to divide the length of the board by the length of each section.

3 1/4 feet can be written as 3 + 1/4 = 3.25 feet.

Dividing 3.25 feet by 3/4 feet gives: 3.25 / 0.75 = 4.333...

Since we can't have a fraction of a section, we can only have 4 whole sections.

Therefore, George can cut 4 sections from this board.
wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's re-evaluate the problem:

The length of the wooden board is 3 1/4 feet, which can also be written as 3.25 feet.

To determine how many 3/4-foot sections can be cut from the board, we need to divide the length of the board by the length of each section.

Dividing 3.25 feet by 3/4 feet can be done as follows:

3.25 / 0.75 = 4.33...

However, since we cannot have a fraction of a section, we need to round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, George can cut 4 sections from this board.
