the total length of three boards us 7/8 off a yard. the length of two of the boards are 1/4 of a yard and 3/16 if a yard.WHAT is the length of the third board?

first we have to find common denominators. 3x=7/8, or 3x=14/16
1/4=4/16
14-4-3=7, all over 16
7/16

The length of the third board is [tex]\frac{7}{16}[/tex].

Given that,

  • There is a total length of three boards is 7/8 off a yard.
  • And, the length of two of the boards is one-fourth and third-sixteen.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

[tex]= \frac{14-4-3}{16}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{7}{16}[/tex]

Here we have determined the common denominators.

Therefore we can conclude that the length of the third board is [tex]\frac{7}{16}[/tex].
