Answer:
Hence, the length of board is:
6.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Merry and pippin were working on a project in carpentry class.
They needed to cut 4 lengths of 1 5/8 feet from a board.
That means each of the piece is of length 1 5/8 feet which could be written in fraction as:
[tex]1\frac{5}{8}=\dfrac{13}{8} feet[/tex]
Hence, the otal length of the board is addition of length of each board.
i.e.
[tex]\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{13}{8}+\dfrac{13}{8}=4\times \dfrac{13}{8}=\dfrac{13}{2}feet=6.5feet[/tex]
Hence, the length of board is:
6.5 feet
