Answer:
18 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Max is building a treehouse. He has a piece of wood that is 6 ft long. How many 1/3 ft pieces of wood can you cut?
From the above question, we can deduce that:
1 piece of wood = 1/3ft
Hence:
1/3 = 1 piece of wood
6 ft = x
Cross Multiply
1/3ft × x = 6 ft × 1
x = 6 / 1/3
x = 6 × 3
x = 18 pieces
Hence, you can cut 18 (1/3 ft )pieces of wood .
