Sam bought a 7/8 -foot piece of wood to make some small boxes to hold his insect collection. He used 3/16 foot of wood for each box. Which equation can be used to show how many boxes Sam made?

Number of small boxes Sam made = Total piece of wood bought / Piece of wood used for each small box

Step-by-step explanation:

Total piece of wood bought = 7/8 foot

Piece of wood used for each small box = 3/16 foot

Number of small boxes Sam made = Total piece of wood bought / Piece of wood used for each small box

= 7/8 foot ÷ 3/16 foot

= 7/8 × 16/3

= 7×16 / 8×3

= 112 / 24

= 4 16/24

= 4 2/3 small boxes

The equation is:

Number of small boxes Sam made = Total piece of wood bought / Piece of wood used for each small box

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
