Morgan has an 8 1/2 foot board that must be cut into boards that are feet long. How many of the smaller boards can he get from the 8 1/2 foot board? Which of the following equations could you use to solve the problem?
x * 8 1/2 = 5/6
8 1/2 * x = 5/6
5/6 * 8 1/2 = x
8 1/2 / 5/6 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

8 1/2 foot board to be cut into 5/6 feet boards.

Number of smaller boards is:

Correct equation is D

8 1/2 / 5/6 = x

Step-by-step explanation: converted to inches

8 1/2 * 12 =102

5/6 *12= 10

102/10 = 8 1/2 / 5/6

33

step-by-step explanation: g=6

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
