Joanna has a board that is 6 feet long. She cuts it unit pieces that are each 1/4 foot long. Which equation represents the number of pieces it cut?
6/(1/4)
or 6/.25
You find the whole length divided by the length of each piece.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
\(n=(\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}})\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Joanna has a board with a length of 6 feet.
She cuts it in unit pieces that length of every piece is \(\frac{1}{4}\) foot.
Let n be the number of pieces cut by Joanna.
Therefore length of n boards of length \(\frac{1}{4}\) each = \(n.(\frac{1}{4})=6\)
Now number of pieces \(n=(\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}})\) will be the equation that represents the number of pieces of the board.
