Question

A carpenter has a board that is 10 feet long. He wants to make 6 table legs that are all the same length. What is the longest each leg can be?

Answer 1

All you have to do is take 10 and divide it by 6, all though since its 1.6 repeating (1.666666666666 etc.) You can be far m or accurate by making fractions and simplify it 10/6 = 1 2/3

Answer 2

The longest length of each leg would be....
10/6=1.6666...667 feet.

But. 1feet =30.48cm

So 10Feet=304.8cm

So the longest length of each leg in cm=50.8cm...


Hope it Helps...
