Joe has a 28 foot long board. he needs to cut it into 24 equal length parts. how many feet should each section of the board be?

Using proportions, it is found that each section of the board would have 1.167 feet.

A proportion is a fraction of total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the 24 sections combine to 28 feet. How many feet is there in a single section?

The rule of three is:

24 sections - 28 feet

1 section - x feet

Applying cross multiplication:

Each section of the board would have 1.167 feet.

if this is really you s much. i only have 3 points left and i have 2 questions to ask

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
