Fundamental Concept
1 Foot = 12 inches.
Application
To calculate the number of 15-inch boards that we can cut, we must first convert the length of the boards from feet to inches.
The length of the 7-foot long board in inches is 7 x 12 = 84 inches.
To calculate how many 15-inch pieces we can cut, we only need to divide the length of the board by the required length. So,
Pieces = 84 ÷ 15
Pieces = 5 remainder 9
From the above calculation, we can cut 5 pieces of 15-inch boards and there will be a remaining board with a length of 9 inches.
