Jamar has an 8 foot long piece of wood that he wants to build a step tool for his tree house. If each piece is going to be 5/6 foot long. What is the greatest number of pieces he will be able to use?

He can make 9 pieces with a length of 5/6 feet out of the 8 foot long piece of wood he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for us to calculate the number of steps Jamar can make from the piece of wood he has we need to take the total length of the wood and divide it by the length of each step. These calculations are shown bellow:

number of steps = (total length)/(length of steps)

number of steps = 8/(5/6)

number of steps = 8*(6/5)

number of steps = 48/5

number of steps = 9.6

Since he won't make a 0.6 step the greatest number of pieces he can make from the piece of wood he has is 9 pieces.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

it should be a.

hope it
