Answer provided by our tutors
6 ways:
4 ft X 6 = 24 ft (6 pieces of 4 ft long lumber)
6 ft x 4 = 24 ft (4 pieces of 6 ft long lumber)
12 ft x 2 = 24 ft (2 pieces of 12 ft long lumber)
6 ft x 2 + 12 ft = 24 ft (2 pieces of 6 ft long lumber and 1 piece of 12 ft long lumber)
4 ft x 3 + 12 ft = 24 ft (3 pieces of 4 ft long lumber and 1 piece of 12 ft long lumber)
4 ft x 3 + 6 ft x 2 = 24 ft (3 pieces of 4 ft long lumber and 2 piece of 6 ft long lumber)
