Mitch is cutting wood to make a garden marker each garden marker changes the length of the piece of wood by -0.8 foot the length of the wood changes by a total of -4 for over five feet after mitch cuts all the garden markers how many pieces of wood did mitch cut?

Here are the given information from the problem:
a garden marker that changes the length of the piece of wood by -0.8 foot and
a total of -4/5 feet change in the length of the wood
We simply have to divide the total change in the length of wood by the change in wood per marker. So,
-4/5 / -0.8 = 1
There was only 1 piece of wood that Mitch cut.
