anthony bought an 8 foot board.He cut off 3/4 of the board to build a shelf,and gave 1/3 of the rest to his brother for an art project.How many inches long was the piece anthony gave to his brother?

Convert your feet to inches.
So 8 times by 12 = 96 inches
if you have 3/4 of the board used.
3/4= .75
if you were to times 96 by .75 = 72 inches.
So you used 72 inches and you have 24 inches left

now do 1/3= .33
times .33 by 24= 8
8 inches is how long you would give to Anthony's brother.

The length he gave to his brother = 8 inch

Further explanation

There are 7 main quantities that have been determined based on international standards, namely:

1. Length, meters (m)
2. Time, second (s)
3. Mass, kilograms (kg)
4. Temperature, kelvin (K)
5. Light intensity, candela (cd)
6. Electric current, ampere (A)
7. Amount of substance, mol (m)

The length indicate the distance between two points in a place

The symbol is usually expressed in l, length

Length measurement can be used by several measuring instruments such as ruler / ruler, caliper length, meter, screw micrometer

The main length unit consists of 7 units other than other units of length such as inches, miles, yards, feet:

Kilometer, km
Hectometer, hm
Dekameter, dam
Meter, m
Decimeter, dm
centimeter, cm
millimeters, mm

Each one unit descends then multiplied by 10, and if one unit increases then divided by 10

English units are the units that were used in England

For the length , the standart from English unit is yard

The conversions between units:

1 m =

a. 1.09361 yard

b. 6.214.10⁻⁴ mile

c. 3.2808 foot

d. 39.3701 inch

Anthony bought an 8 foot board

He cut off 3/4 of the board and gave 1/3 of the rest to his brother

the length of the board he cut :

[tex]{\displaystyle L = {8\:\times\frac {3} {4}}[/tex]

L cut = 6 foot

Remaining board length :

8 - 6 = 2 foot

From the length of 2 foot , he gave 1/3 to his brother, so the length of board he gave :

[tex]{\displaystyle L = {2\:\times\frac {1} {3}}[/tex]

[tex]{\displaystyle L = {\frac {2} {3}}\:foot[/tex]

we convert this to inch

1 foot = 12 inch

so for [tex]{\displaystyle L = {\frac {2} {3}}\:foot[/tex] become:

[tex]{\displaystyle L = {12\:\times\frac {2} {3}}\:inch[/tex]

The length he gave = 8 inch
