Result: 8

Detailed Explanation:

Situation: Pedro divided a sheet of poster board into 10 equal sections.

Let x represent the entire sheet.

Then, each section of the sheet is equal to $\frac{1}{10}$ .

Currently, his brother has used some of the poster board, leaving 8/10.

Thus, if Pedro intends to create a sign from each leftover section of the poster board,

Then, the total number of signs he can produce equals $\frac{8}{10}\div \frac{1}{10}=\frac{8}{10}\times\frac{10}{1}=8$ .

As a result, Pedro can create 8 signs.
