James has a board that is 3/4 foot long. He wants to cut the board into pieces that are each 1/8 foot long. How many pieces can James cut from the board?

Respuesta :

He can cut 6 pieces. 
If you change 3/4 into the common denominator with 1/8
you get 6/8 and so he can cut the board 6 times into 1/8 pieces
