to find the length of each piece, you need to divide the total length of the board (9 yards) by the number of pieces (4)
you can use the formula: length of each piece = the total length of the board by the # of pieces
then you substitute the values… length of each piece = 9 yards
if you divide that 9 by 4 it gives you: 2.25 yards
ANSWER: each piece of the board will be 2.25 yards long :)
