Answer: There are 5 pieces of wood that can be cut from board.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of board = \(1\dfrac{7}{8}=\dfrac{15}{7}\ feet\)
Length of pieces of wood that cut from board = \(\dfrac{3}{8}\)
So, Number of pieces of wood would be
\(\dfrac{\text{Length of board}}{\text{Length of pieces of wood}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{15}{8}}{\dfrac{3}{8}}\\\\=\dfrac{15}{3}\\\\=5\)
Hence, there are 5 pieces of wood that can be cut from board.
