Cassie has a wood board that is 3/4 foot long. She wants to cut the board into pieces that are 1/8 foot long. Which expression will help Cassie find how many pieces she can cut?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3/4 ÷ 1/8

Explanation:

To know how many pieces she can cut, she needs to divide the wood board of 3/4 foot long into the length of the pieces 1/8 foot.

Therefore, the expression is:

3/4 ÷ 1/8

So, solving the expression, we get:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}\div\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3\cdot8}{4\cdot1}=\frac{24}{4}=6[/tex]

Then, she can cut 6 pieces that are 1/8 foot long
