A builder is building a fence with 6 & 1/4-inch-wide wooden boards, arranged side-by-side with no gaps. How many boards are needed to build a fence that is 150 inches long?

Respuesta :

Answer:

24 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

The builder is building a fence with [tex]6\frac{1}{4} = 6.25[/tex] inches wide wooden boards, arranged side-by-side with no gaps.

If the fence is 150 inches long, then there will be a certain number of wooden boards required.

Now, 1 wooden board is equivalent to 6.25 inches.

Then the  number of wooden boards required to cover 150 ft. will be [tex]\frac{150}{6.25} = 24[/tex] (Answer)
