If Mrs. Peterson buys 2 2/3 yard long baseboards, she will need to divide the total length of baseboard needed (60 yards) by the length of each baseboard (2 2/3 yards) to find out how many pieces she will need.
This can be calculated as:
60 yards / 2 2/3 yards = 22 1/2 pieces
Therefore, she will need 22 1/2 pieces if she buys 2 2/3 yard long baseboards.
Similarly, if she buys 3 1/3 yard long baseboards, she will need to divide the total length of baseboard needed (60 yards) by the length of each baseboard (3 1/3 yards) to find out how many pieces she will need.
This can be calculated as:
60 yards / 3 1/3 yards = 18 pieces
Therefore, she will need 18 pieces if she buys 3 1/3 yard long baseboards.
Mrs. Peterson is going to install new baseboard in her living room, family room, and dining room. The total length of baseboard needed is 60 yards. If Mrs. Peterson buys 2 2/3 yard long baseboards, how many pieces will she need? If she buys 3 1/3 yard long baseboards, how many pieces will she need?
18 pieces, 22 1/2 pieces
160 pieces, 200 pieces
22 1/2 pieces, 18 pieces
200 pieces, 160 pieces
