wolfram does not understand my word problem

Hi,
I asked the following problem to be answered:

marcel is purchasing a board to build a bookcase. he wants to divide board into 1.75-foot sections. what size board does marcel need?

It did not understand the problem. Why?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Perhaps the answer is 7/4 x 4 = 7. But then I am employing an extremely sophisticated computer with parallel associative memory access and advanced pattern recognition capabilities. :wink:
