The number of windows which can be framed with three 10-foot long pieces of lumber given the dimensions of the windows is; two and a half.
It follows from the task content that the number of windows that can be made given the dimensions of the windows be determined.
On this note, it follows that since the windows are 3 feet high and 3 feet width, the perimeter of each window(square shaped) covered by lumber is;
P = 4s
P = 4 × 3
P = 12 feet.
Hence, each window requires 12 feet of lumber.
However, since the builder has only three 10-foot long pieces of lumber which is equivalent to; 3 × 10 = 30 feet worth.
The number of windows that can be made is;
= 30/12
= 2.5.
Ultimately, only 2 and a half windows can be framed from the three 10-foot long pieces of lumber.
