you.

Answer = 72!

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so imagine that piece of wood in your mind

As the second part of the question states, the LENGTH is the only dimension that changes. It goes from 6 Foot pieces, to 6 INCH pieces.The height and the width stay the same, at 2 inches and 4 inches, respectively

So, we know that there are 12 inches in a foot. If the original piece was 6 Feet long, then if you multiply 6 (the number of feet) x 12 (the number of inches per foot) then you come up with 72!

Thus, that plank of would could be cut into 72 pieces that were 2 inches high, 4 inches wide, and 6 inches long.

- 1.613 = -1.6 or -1.61

-1.522 = -1.5 or -1.52

0.587 = 0.6 or 0.59

3.079 = 3.1 or 3.08
