Math Question # 2
Glenn needs 1,500 boards to build a small rocket. Each board must be
3 feet long. If boards are sold in 12 foot lengths, how many boards
must Glenn buy and cut into 3 foot pieces to get the 1,500 he
needs?
**NOTE : Please ignore the kerf (the width of the cut a saw makes,
often about an eighth of an inch)
