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

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

114 plus 113 times 2 and 114 times 3
