Answer: 8


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Pedro cut a sheet of poster board into 10 equal parts.

let x be the total sheet.

then, one part of sheet= \(\frac{1}{10}\) of the sheet

Now, His brother used some of the poster board and now 8/10 is left.

Therefore, if Pedro wants to make a sign from  each remaining part of the poster board.

then, The number of signs he can make= \(\frac{8}{10}\div \frac{1}{10}=\frac{8}{10}\times\frac{10}{1}=8\)

Hence, Pedro can make 8 signs.
