morgan has an 8 1/2 -foot board that must be cut into boards that are 5/6 feet long. how many of the smaller boards can he get from the 8 1/2 -foot board?

which of the following equations could you use to solve the problem?

answers are in the picture

D. 8 1/2 ÷ 5/6 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of smaller boards

Dividing the total amount of board by the length of each board gives the number of smaller boards.

The division statement is in the format:

Total ÷ number of groups = amount per group

OR

Total ÷ amount per group = number of groups

Each group is a small board. The amount per group is the amount of feet for each board.

8 1/2 ÷ 5/6 = x

D. 8 1/2 ÷ 5/6 = x

x+y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
