If Samuel cuts [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex] inches discs of metal, then he can make 7 discs from a metal post that measures [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] foot in length
Given,
The total length of metal post= [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] foot
Convert foot to inches
1 foot = 12 inches
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] foot= 4 inches
The length of each disc of metal = [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex] inches
Number of metal post that he can cut = Total length of metal post / The length of each disc of metal
[tex]=\frac{4}{\frac{4}{7} } \\=4(\frac{7}{4})\\ =7[/tex]
Hence, if Samuel cuts [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex] inches discs of metal, then he can make 7 discs from a metal post that measures [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] foot in length
