How many pieces 6 2/3 in long can be cut from 32 metal rods each 36in long? Disregard waste

Question

I can’t figure any of these out... can anyone help me?

Answer 1

If you have 32 rods that are 36 inches long each. Multiply these 2 numbers together to get the total length of all the metal rods and then divide by the length ( 6 2/3) each smaller rod needs to be.

Translating English to math:

(32 x 36)/ 6 2/3= 1152/6.67= 172.71 which rounded down equals 172. :)
