To find out how many 1/3-foot pieces Julian can cut from the 12-foot piece of lumber, we need to divide the length of the lumber by the length of each piece.
Given that Julian has a 12-foot piece of lumber and each piece will be cut into 1/3 feet, we divide 12 by 1/3:
12 รท (1/3) = 12 ร (3/1) = 12 ร 3 = 36
Julian can cut 36 pieces of 1/3-foot from the 12-foot lumber.
