Question 1098142: Jessie has a piece of wood that is 8 feet long. He needs to cut pieces that are 7/8 of a foot long. How many pieces will he be able to make Answer by CubeyThePenguin(3113) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! # pieces = (length of wood)/(length of piece)
= 8/(7/8)
= 64/7 pieces (or 9 pieces if rounded down to the nearest integer)
