Using proportions, it is found that each section of the board would have 1.167 feet.
A proportion is a fraction of total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
In this problem, the 24 sections combine to 28 feet. How many feet is there in a single section?
The rule of three is:
24 sections - 28 feet
1 section - x feet
Applying cross multiplication:
[tex]24x = 28[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{28}{24}[/tex]
[tex]x = 1.167[/tex]
Each section of the board would have 1.167 feet.
