How many pieces of one half
 in. plywood are there in a stack 32 in.​ high?

To determine the number of pieces of 1/2 inch plywood in a stack that is 32 inches high, you can divide the total height of the stack by the thickness of each piece of plywood.

Here's the calculation:

\[
\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{\text{Total height of the stack}}{\text{Thickness of each piece}}
\]

Given:
- Total height of the stack = 32 inches
- Thickness of each piece = 1/2 inch

\[
\text{Number of pieces} = \frac{32 \, \text{inches}}{\frac{1}{2} \, \text{inch}}
\]

Now, dividing 32 by 1/2:

\[
\text{Number of pieces} = 32 \div \frac{1}{2} = 32 \times 2 = 64
\]

So, there are **64 pieces** of 1/2 inch plywood in a stack that is 32 inches high.
