Jessie has a piece of wood that is 8 feet long he needs to cut pieces that are 7/8 ofa foot long. how many pieces will he be able to make

Jessie will be able to make 9 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, start by taking the total length and dividing it by the length of each piece needed. This will give you how many you can make.

8ft ÷ 7/8ft = 9.14 pieces

Since .14 pieces is not a full section, we disregard that and say that we can make 9 full pieces.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
