Josiah has a piece of wood that measures 10 1 / 8 feet he wants to make 5 shelves if each shelf is 1 3/4 fuel long does he have enough to make 5 shelves explain

To answer, I'm assuming "fuel long" means "feet long"
To find the amount of feet to make 5 shelves, we must multiply the amount to make one shelf by 5
1.75 * 5 = 8.75
(1.75 is the decimal form for one shelf)
Because 8.75 is less than 10, he has enough to make 5 shelves
