A 42 foot board is cut into two pieces. Four times the shorter piece is equal to the sum of the longer piece and thirteen. Find the lengths of both pieces.?
Using algebra it works out that the lengths are 8.4 feet and 33.6 feet because 4*(8.4) = 33.6 and 8.4+33.6 = 42 feet
Cassie has a wood board that is 3434 foot long. She wants to cut the board into pieces that are 1818 foot long. Which expression will help Cassie find how many pieces she can cut?
3434/1818.However, a more reasonable expression is "A piece of wood board which is nearly two thirds of a mile long is so unlikely that I must have made a mistake in recording its length and so I had better do it again!"
How can you cut a 8 foot by 3 foot board into two pieces so that both pieces together cover a 12 foot by 2 foot board?
With the board with the 3 ft edge towards you mark 1 ft from the right hand edge. 4 ft along the right hand edge mark in 1 ft. Join the 1 ft marks.Turn the board around so that the other 3 ft ends is towards you and repeat the markings.Now join the ends of the lines at the centre of the board (with should be 1 ft long).Now cut along the lines.Shift the right hand piece up and left so that the cut edge is on top of the 8 ft length to create a board almost* 12 ft by 2 ft:========================|...................................................................|..............................===================================|..................................===========|..................................|...................................................................|...............................||...............................|................................|...........==>...............|..................................============...............................||===========..................................|..................................|...............................|..................................................................||...................................................................|..................................===========================================================* If you use a saw to cut the board, you will lose some of the board into sawdust.
How many 6 x 6 blocks can be made out of a 4 foot board?
Assumption: 6 x 6 is using inches as the unit (half a foot) and a 4 foot board means 4 square feet of board. Each square foot of board can be cut into four half foot x half foot pieces. Therefore, the 4 foot board would be able to make 16 half foot x half foot (6 inch x 6 inch) blocks.
How can you cut an 8 foot by 3 foot board into two pieces so that both pieces together cover a 12 foot by 2 foot hole?
There is no way to do this with two pieces. You can do it with 4 (making each 3 by 2) The only way is by having three pieces.... note: The total area is the same so it has to be possible (24sf) 2 cuts total (3 pieces): STEPS>>> 1st: Cut the board into two pieces. Making one piece 8'x2 the other piece then is 8'x1'. 2nd: Cut the 8'x1' piece into half making two 4'x1' pieces. 3rd: Place the two 4'x1' pieces together to make it 4'x2'. 4th: Place the 8'x2' & new 4'x2' pieces together for your desired dimension, 12'x2'
