Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Original length of the wood = 8[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] feet

He wants to cut this wood into pieces that are 3/4 foot , to know the number of woods this will be , we will divide the original length by 3/4 , that is

8[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ÷ 3/4

⇒ 33/4 ÷ 3/4

= 33/4 × 4/33

= 11

Therefore there are 11 3/4 foot pieces of wood
