Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I will ASSUME that he wants 3/4 INCH sections out of a 9 foot long board.
I will ASSUME that he has a magic saw that cuts without wasting any wood.
c) operations to use will be multiplication and division
d) The 9 foot board has 12 inches per foot and we need as many 3/4 inch pieces as possible from it.
n = 9(12) / (3/4)
e) n = 144 pieces
f) not sure I know the difference between a solution and an answer.
144 pieces.
IF the saw is not magical and has a kerf width of 1/8 inch as typical,
and we must have each piece be 3/4 inch wide
n = 9(12) / (3/4 + 1/8) = 123.4285... We would yield 123 pieces and have a scrap drop slightly less than half of the desired width.
