George has a wooden board that is 3 1/4 feet long. He needs to cut it into sections that are 3/4 foot long. How many sections can he cut from this board
To find the number of sections George can cut from the board, divide the length of the board by the length of each section:
3 1/4 feet / 3/4 foot/section = (13/4) feet / (3/4) foot/section
Convert the division to multiplication by the reciprocal:
(13/4) feet * (4/3 foot/section) = 13/3 sections
The board can be cut into 13/3 sections, which is equivalent to 4 and 1/3 sections. Rounded down to the nearest whole number, George can cut 4 sections from the board. Answer: \boxed{4}.
