The length of the wooden plank is, ⁣[tex]\rm l =3 \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Let x be the 3/4 -meter pieces can Joe see from the wooden plank.

According to the given condition, Joe wants to saw a wooden plank into 3/4 -meter pieces

The pieces can Joe sees from the wooden plank are found as;

x =  Length of the wooden plank/length of a piece of wooden plank

[tex]\rm x = \frac{3 \frac{3}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} \\\\ x = \frac{\frac {15}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} \\\\ x= \frac{15}{4} \times \frac{4}{3}\\\\ x =5[/tex]
