First you have to convert the measurements to the same unit.
33 feet x 12 = 396 inches
Then you divide the length you want by the length of the board.
396 / 32 = 12.375
We round the answer UP to the nearest whole because you can't buy 0.375ths of a board :)
Therefore, you would need 13 boards.

a feet equals 12 inches,
33 feet = 33X12 inches= (32+1)inchesx12
=32inches x12 +1inch X12
so 12 boards can be cut leaving 12inches as waste
