* George has a wooden board that is 3 1/4.

Question

feet long. He needs to cut it into sections that are 3/4 - foot long.
How many sections can he cut from this board? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many sections George can cut from the board, we need to divide the length of the board by the length of each section.

Length of the board = 3 1/4 feet
Length of each section = 3/4 foot

To make calculations easier, we can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
3 1/4 = 13/4

Now we can divide the length of the board by the length of each section:
(13/4) ÷ (3/4) = 13/4 * 4/3 = 52/12 = 4 4/12 = 4 1/3

Therefore, George can cut 4 whole sections and 1/3 section from the board.
