Rafi had a board that was 15 1/2 FEET long he cut three pieces off the board that are each 3 and 7/8 feet long how much of the board is left
Rafi had a board that was 15 1/2 feet long he cut three pieces off the board that are each 3 7/8 feet long how much of the board is left
3 (3 + 7/8) = 9 + 21/8 =11 5/8
15 4/8 - 11 5/8
= 14 12/8 - 11 5/8
= 3 7/8
He could get one more if it were not for the saw cerfs :)
------------------
check note 3 7/8 = 4 - 1/8
4 (4-1/8) = 16 - 4/8
= 15 1/2 sure enough
what is the answer to this proble
To find out how much of the board is left after cutting three pieces, we need to subtract the total length of the cut pieces from the original length of the board.
The original length of the board is 15 1/2 feet or 15.5 feet.
The length of each cut piece is 3 and 7/8 feet or 3.875 feet.
To find the total length of the cut pieces, we multiply the length of each piece by the number of pieces: 3.875 feet * 3 = 11.625 feet.
To find the length of the board that is left, we subtract the total length of the cut pieces from the original length of the board:
15.5 feet - 11.625 feet = 3.875 feet.
Therefore, there are 3.875 feet of the board left.
