Answer:
Kristen wants to cut ladder. 8 pieces can be cut out of a 6 foot board in the form of [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] foot rungs.
Solution:
The length of the board is 6 feet.
Kristen wants to cut [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] foot ladder rungs from the 6 foot board.
[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] is in the fraction form. To make the calculation easier lets convert it to the decimal form.
Therefore, [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] =0.75
Now each small rung is 0.75 foot long.
To find out how many pieces of rung can be cut out of a 6 foot board we need to divide 6 by 0.75. This will give us exactly how many pieces can be cut out.
Therefore;
6 ÷ 0.75 = 8
Hence, 8 pieces can be cut out of a 6 foot board in the form of [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] foot rungs.
