You make skateboard ramps by cutting pieces from a board that is 12 1/2 feet long. a. your friend estimates you can cut 6 ramps from the board. is her estimate reasonable? explain. how many ramps can you cut from the board? how much wood is left over?

The length of the ramp is unknown. 
If 6 ramps were cut from a board that is 12 1/2 feet long, the ramps would be about 2 feet long each which seems like a reasonable answer. The questions regarding how many boards are cut would need the length of the ramps. Lets say that the length is x. You can get 12 1/2 divided by x boards. In order to find out how much is left over, take the number of boards made, multiply it by how long they are. This product is then subracted from 12 1/2. 

You can use a calculater and divide the minutes by the $$, hope that you
