*edit* It all depends... if it takes the carpenter 3 seconds to cut one piece of the board (using a circular saw) it would take him 30 seconds. If he was using a hand saw, and it took him, say, 30 seconds to cut one piece, it would take him 5 minutes.

How many 6 x 6 blocks can be made out of a 4 foot board?
Assumption: 6 x 6 is using inches as the unit (half a foot) and a 4 foot board means 4 square feet of board. Each square foot of board can be cut into four half foot x half foot pieces. Therefore, the 4 foot board would be able to make 16 half foot x half foot (6 inch x 6 inch) blocks.
Cutting a 10 foot plank into 10 equal sections if it takes 1 minute per cut how long will it take him to get the 10 equal pieces?
NOTE: The problem asks to cut the board into 10 equal parts, not into equal boards proportional to the original piece of wood. Case 1: CANNOT stack wood on top of each other. Assume the board 5 feet by 2 feet. If you made one horizontal cut in the center of the board 1 foot from each edge, and then made four vertical cuts at 1 foot apart, you would then have 10 equal pieces at 1' by 1' each. Time taken: 5 minutes for 5 cuts. Case 2: CAN stack wood on top of each other. The board is 5 feet by 2 feet. Cut the board long way 1 foot from the middle and the result is 2 boards 5 feet by 1 foot. Stack these two boards on top of each other. Then, cut the stack vertically one foot from the end now making 2 pieces of wood 1' by 1' and 2 pieces of wood 4' by 1'. Then, take the 2 pieces of wood 4' by 1' and stack them on top of each other. Cut vertically once in half, so you now result in 4 boards 2' by 1'. Finally, stack these 4 pieces of wood on top of each other. Cut once vertically and you now have 8 pieces of wood 1' by 1' (plus the 2 from earlier which now make 10). Time taken: 4 minutes for 4 cuts.
Meg has 18 feet of ribbon that she wants to divide into of a foot pieces. How many of a foot pieces are there in 18 feet?

What is a 2.9 Board foot?
A board foot is 12 inches by 12 inches, 1 inch thick. Any combination of measurements that equal this is 1 board. 6x24x1 is 1 board foot. 2.9 board foot could be anything. There should be another measurement saying what this is. Board foot is used to figure cost as most common wood is the same price per board foot. Could be 2x4, 2x12 or 1 inch, it all works out the roughly the same price.
Cassie has a wood board that is 3434 foot long. She wants to cut the board into pieces that are 1818 foot long. Which expression will help Cassie find how many pieces she can cut?

How can you cut an 8 foot by 3 foot board into two pieces so that both pieces together cover a 12 foot by 2 foot hole?
There is no way to do this with two pieces. You can do it with 4 (making each 3 by 2) The only way is by having three pieces.... note: The total area is the same so it has to be possible (24sf) 2 cuts total (3 pieces): STEPS>>> 1st: Cut the board into two pieces. Making one piece 8'x2 the other piece then is 8'x1'. 2nd: Cut the 8'x1' piece into half making two 4'x1' pieces. 3rd: Place the two 4'x1' pieces together to make it 4'x2'. 4th: Place the 8'x2' & new 4'x2' pieces together for your desired dimension, 12'x2'

How is cubic board feet in timber converted into linear board feet in timber?
Cubic board feet is not a term used in the lumber industry, but it's obvious that a cubic foot is a cube that is one foot on an edge. A board foot, which is a common term used in the lumber industry is a piece of wood that is twelve inches wide, one inch thick and one foot long. Ten board feet would be a board one inch thick, twelve inches wide and ten feet long. (And no, a board doesn't have to be 12 inches wide. If it's 6 inches wide and 2 inches thick and one foot long, there is still one board foot of material there.) To make a cubic foot of wood, one might take one board foot of wood (12"x12"x1") and put it down, then stack another eleven pieces just like it on top the first one. That's 12 pieces of wood that are 1" thick for a total of 12" in height, and which are 12"x12" (length and width) giving us a volume of wood that is 12"x12"x12" or one cubic foot.
A 42 foot board is cut into two pieces. Four times the shorter piece is equal to the sum of the longer piece and thirteen. Find the lengths of both pieces.?
