If a board is 12 2/3 feet long is cut into 3 equal pieces. Whats it the length of each piece?

12 2/3 ft = 38/3 ft

Let each piece be "x".

Equation:
3x = 38/3 ft
x = 38/9 ft = 4 2/9 ft

Convert 12 2/3 into imperfect factor multiply 12 with 3 and add 2
38/3 divided by 3( 3equal pieces) is 38/9 or 4 2/9 each
