You need to cut a 9 foot piece of plywood into 12 inch sections. every cut also removes 1/8 inch. how much of the plywood will be left after cutting the 12 inch sections

 The total quantity of plywood that will be left is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that we need to cut a 9 foot piece of plywood into 12 inch sections and every cut also removes inch.

We are to find the quantity of plywood that will be left after cutting the 12 inch section.

We know

1 foot = 12 inches.

So, 9 foot = 12 × 9 = 108 inches.  

Since each cut removes inch at ever cut, so the number of 12 inch sections will be 8.

Therefore, the quantity of plywood that remained after cutting the 12 inch sections will be

Thus, 11 inches of the plywood will be left.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
