Answer:

9 pieces  

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pieces = length of wood/length of each piece

                              = 8/(⅞)

                              = 8 × ⁸/₇

                              = 64/7

                              = (63 + 1)7

                              = 9⅐

Jesse can make 9 pieces with ⅐ ft of waste.
