Answer:

Option D (20) is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Length of wood,

= 78 inches

Wood pieces,

=  [tex]3\frac{3}{4} \ inches[/tex]

On converting this in proper fraction, we get

=  [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

=  [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

=  [tex]3.75 \ inches[/tex]

Now,

On dividing "78" from "3.78", we get

=  [tex]\frac{78}{3.75}[/tex]

=  [tex]20.8 \ pieces[/tex]

So we got "20 pieces".
