Answer:

6 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mr. Michaels need to cut down the 8 inch long boards into pieces that are 1¹/₃ inches long, the number of pieces he can cut out from the 8 inch long board that are 1¹/₃ inches long is 8 ÷ 1¹/₃ = 8 ÷ 4/3

= 8 × 3/4

= 2 × 3

= 6

So, Mr. Michaels can cut 6 pieces that are 1¹/₃ inches long from the 2 inches wide and 8 inches long board.
