Answer:
1. 12 pieces of wood
2. How to determine the number of pieces of wood Dean cut is by dividing the total length of wood by length of each piece of wood
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of wood=3/4 of a foot
He needs to cut pieces of the wood into 1/16 of a foot long
How many pieces can Dean cut
Let x= number of pieces of wood Dean needs to cut
x=Total length of wood / length of each piece
=3/4 ÷ 1/16
=3/4 × 16/1
=48/4
=12 pieces
Number of pieces of the wood Dean can cut =12 pieces
How to determine the number of pieces of wood Dean cut is by dividing the total length of wood by length of each piece of wood
That is,
3/4 ÷ 1/6
Then follow the procedures in question 1
