Answer: three pieces.

The piece of wood is 6/8 inches long - this fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.

Thus, he cuts a piece of wood that is 3/4 inches long into 1/4 inch pieces.

1 goes into 3 three times, so the piece of wood can be cut into three 1/4-inch pieces.

Remember that 6/8 can be simplified into 3/4.

1/4 x 3 = 3/4

He cut 3 pieces.
