Question
1 Yard = 36 inchesA wooden plank measures 351 inches in length. If the plank is cut into pieces of equal length, where each piece measures yards, how many pieces can be obtained from the plank?
Solution
First, we need to convert the length of each piece from yards to inches since the length of the plank is given in inches. We know that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches.
Next, we divide the total length of the plank by the length of each piece to find out how many pieces can be obtained.
Let's calculate:
- Convert the length of each piece from yards to inches: 1 yard = 36 inches
- Divide the total length of the plank by the length of each piece: 351 inches ÷ 36 inches = 9.75
Since we can't have a fraction of a piece, we can only get 9 full pieces from the plank.
