To find the length of each part when an 8-foot board is divided into three equal sections, you simply divide the total length of the board by the number of parts:
Length of each part=8 feet3=2.67 feet (or 2 feet 8 inches approximately).
Each part measures 2.67 feet, which is equivalent to 32 inches. This calculation is essential for tasks requiring precise measurements, such as carpentry or construction. Dividing equally ensures all parts are of uniform size, which is particularly important for projects needing symmetry or balance. Always use proper tools like a tape measure to ensure accuracy when cutting boards.
