* 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? (1 point)
To find out how many sections George can cut from the board, we need to divide the length of the board by the length of each section.
Length of the board = 3 1/4 feet
Length of each section = 3/4 foot
To make calculations easier, we can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
3 1/4 = 13/4
Now we can divide the length of the board by the length of each section:
(13/4) รท (3/4) = 13/4 * 4/3 = 52/12 = 4 4/12 = 4 1/3
Therefore, George can cut 4 whole sections and 1/3 section from the board.
