David has a piece of wood measuring 12 1/8 feet that he wants to use for a project. he needs to cut the wood into pieces that measure 1 13/16 feet. how many pieces of wood can he cut measuring exactly 1 13/16 feet?

Namely, how many times does 1 13/16 go into 12 1/8... well, first off, let's make them "improper fractions" with only one numerator and denominator, and not mixed, and then, we'll just divide them.



so, he can cut 6 whole pieces only with that measurement, and a little bit more, but whole pieces, is only 6.

The correct answer will be d. -4
