A length of wood measures 3 metres long by 10cm. Smaller pieces of wood are to be cut from it, each measuring 10cm by 35mm, the width correct to the nearest millimetre. Calculate the maximum and minimum number of pieces that can be cut from it. What are the values i got 85 and 86.
The maximum is 86, the minimum is 0, because you could just cut no pieces out of the wood.
