5. How many $$ 6-1 / 2^{\prime \prime} $$ long pleces can be cut from a $$ 56^{\prime} $$ long piece of angle iron? (make sure the units match)

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To determine how many $$ 6 \frac{1}{2}'' $$ (6.5 inches) pieces can be cut from a $$ 56' $$ (56 feet) long piece of angle iron, follow these steps:

1. **Convert All Measurements to the Same Unit:**

- **Convert Feet to Inches:**
     $$
     56 \text{ feet} \times 12 \frac{\text{inches}}{\text{foot}} = 672 \text{ inches}
     $$

2. **Calculate the Number of Pieces:**
   
   - **Divide the Total Length by the Length of Each Piece:**
     $$
     \frac{672 \text{ inches}}{6.5 \text{ inches per piece}} \approx 103.38
     $$
   
   - **Determine the Whole Number of Pieces:**
     Since you can't have a fraction of a piece, round down to the nearest whole number:
     $$
     103 \text{ pieces}
     $$

**Conclusion:**
You can cut **103** $$ 6 \frac{1}{2}'' $$ long pieces from a $$ 56' $$ long piece of angle iron.
You can cut 103 pieces that are $$ 6 \frac{1}{2}'' $$ long from a $$ 56' $$ long piece of angle iron.

5. How many \( 6-1 / 2^{\prime \prime} \) long pleces can be cut from a \( 56^{\prime} \) long piece of angle iron? (make sure the units match)
