Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Adam is building birdhouses that require [tex]\dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex] feet long exactly.
Now, we have a board of [tex]8\dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{33}{4} = 8.25[/tex] feet.
Now, we can write 8.25 = (16 × 0.5) + 0.25
Therefore, there can be a total 16 pieces that exactly 0.5 feet long can be made from the board that is 8.25 feet long and the remaining board will be of 0.25 feet. (Answer)
