Morgan has an 8-foot board that must be cut into boards that are feet long. how many of the smaller boards can he get from the 8-foot board? which of the following equations could you use to solve the problem? x · 8 = 8 x = · 8 = x 8 · = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

"Morgan has an 8 1/2-foot board that must be cut into boards that are 5/6 feet long. How many of the smaller boards can he get from the 81/2-foot board?"

First, we need to transform the mixed number into a fraction:

According to the problem, each smaller board is 5/6 feet long.

So, we need to divide to know the total number of smaller board Morgan can get:

Therefore, Morgan would get 10 complete smaller boards from the bigger one.

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent
