There are 70 boards need to do the work.

What is Division method?

Division method is used to distributing a group of things into equal parts. Division is just opposite of multiplications. For example, dividing 20 by 2 means splitting 20 into 2 equal groups of 10.

Given that;

Jack wants to build a 7-foot-wide, 10-foot-long platform.

And, The dimension of boards are  6 inches wide by 2 feet long.

Now,

Area of platform = 7 × 10

                          = 70 feet²

And, Area of board = 6 in × 2 ft

                              = 0.5 ft × 2 ft

                              = 1 feet²

Thus, Number of boards = Area of platform / Area of board

                                      = 70 / 1

                                      = 70

So, Number of required boards = 70
