Respuesta :

Answer 1.5

Divide 9/6= "Answer"

Where did the 9 come from?

There are 12in in a foot so 3/4 = 9in

Answer:

[tex]5\frac{19}{24}[/tex] feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the board is = [tex]34\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet

                                            = [tex]\frac{139}{4}[/tex] feet

We have to cut into 6 equal pieces.

The length of each piece will be = [tex]\frac{\frac{139}{4} }{6}[/tex]

                                                      = [tex]\frac{139}{24}[/tex]

                                                      = [tex]5\frac{19}{24}[/tex] feet

                                                      = 5.79 feet

The length of each piece would be [tex]5\frac{19}{24}[/tex] feet
