Answer:

Total of 9 lengths of 4 inches can be taken out from a board of 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

length of board in feet = 3 ft

As

1 ft = 12 inches

So

Length of board in inch =  [tex]3\times 12[/tex]

                                       = 36 inches

Let no of 4 inches length be = x

The equation become

[tex]x \times 4= 36\\x= \frac{36}{4} \\x= 9[/tex]

Total of 9 lengths of 4 inches can be taken out from a board of 3 feet
