Jake cuts the board into pieces that measure .75 feet each. Before cutting the board, it is 8.25 feet long. So, we must divide 8.25/.75 to find out how many pieces of board jake cut.

8.25/.75= 11 pieces

Since he makes $15.95 per sign, and there are 11 signs, we must multiply 15.95 by 11. This is equal to 175.45.

Therefore, jake can earn $175.45
The board is 8.25 feet long
Divide by 0.75
= 11
Now multiply by $15.95
= 175.45

The answer is $175.45
