Answer:

She cuts the board in two pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The board is 5/6 yards long.
  • She cuts it into pieces that are 5/12 yard long.

To know how many pieces she cuts, we need to find how many pieces of 5/12 long fit into a board 5/6 yards long.

We just need to divide,

[tex]\frac{5}{6} \div \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{12}{5}=2[/tex]

Therefore, she cuts the board in two pieces, where each piece is 5/12 yard long.
