Miss ring uses a 3 foot long piece of wood to build a square frame Mr Link cuts the wood in 4 pieces of equal length what is the length in inches of each piece of wood

Respuesta :

Answer:

Length of each piece is 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of wood = 3 foot

Number of pieces wood is cut in = 4

We need to find the length of each pieces of wood in inches.

As we required the length of each pieces in inches but length of wood is given in foot.

So we will first convert foot into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

3 foot = Inches in 3 foot.

we will use unitary method to find the same.

Number of inches in 3 foot =[tex]12\times3 = 36 \ inches[/tex]

Now length of wood in inches = 36 inches

To find the length of each piece we will divide length of wood with number of pieces.

Framing in equation form we get;

Length of each piece = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Length of wood}}{\textrm{Number of pieces}}[/tex]

Substituting the value we get;

Length of each piece = [tex]\frac{36}{4}= 9 in.[/tex]

Hence Length of each piece is 9 inches.
