1. a board is 10.17 feet long. sandy needs

to cut the board into 3 equal sections.

how long will each section be? how

many sections would be needed for each

section of the 10.17-foot-long board to

be 5.085 feet each? write an equation to

model your work.

3.39 ft, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a board is 10.17 feet long. Sandy needs  

to cut the board into 3 equal sections.

Let x be the length of each piece then we have

ft

Each section would be 3.39 feet long.

-----------------------

When each is 5.085 feet let y be the number of pieces

Then

Two sections would be needed
