Illustrate a middle-aged Caucasian woman preparing to install new baseboards in a modern-style living room, family room, and dining room. All three rooms should be clean and empty, with their walls freshly painted. The woman is seen holding a measuring tape and contemplating the length of baseboards she needs. In her other hand, she's holding two different types of baseboards: one being 2 2/3 yards long and the other being 3 1/3 yards long. Show the baseboards with visible but unlabelled length markings to fit the no-text requirement. There should be a sense of anticipation and excitement in the scene.

Mrs. Peterson is going to install new baseboard in her living room, family room, and dining room. The total length of baseboard needed is 60 yards. If Mrs. Peterson buys 2 2/3 yard long baseboards, how many pieces will she need? If she buys 3 1/3 yard long baseboards, how many pieces will she need?

To determine the number of pieces Mrs. Peterson will need if she buys 2 2/3 yard long baseboards, divide the total length needed (60 yards) by the length of each baseboard (2 2/3 yards).

60 yards / 2 2/3 yards = 60 / (8/3) = 60 * (3/8) = <<60*(3/8)=22.5>>22.5

So she will need 23 pieces.

To determine the number of pieces Mrs. Peterson will need if she buys 3 1/3 yard long baseboards, divide the total length needed (60 yards) by the length of each baseboard (3 1/3 yards).

60 yards / 3 1/3 yards = 60 / (10/3) = 60 * (3/10) = <<60*(3/10)=18>>18

So she will need 18 pieces.
