answer fast as possible : )

answer:

the answer to your question is:   n = 4 sections

step-by-step explanation:

data

length = 36 feet

sections length = 8 1/2 ft

section = n

process,

              write a formula

                                            8 1/2 n = 36                     solve for n

                                            n = 36 / (8 1/2)                 simplify

                                            n = 4.2 sections
