a board 2 yards long. If 6 inches from one end was cut off. How many inches long was the shelf.
2 yards = 72 inches
72 - 6 = ?
MINDA HAS A BOARD THAT IS 6YARDS LONG. hOW MUCH NEEDS TO BE SAWN OFF TO MAKE THE BOARD 2FEET AND 4INCHES LONG?
MINDA HAS A BOARD THAT IS 4 yARDS LONG. hOW MUCH NEEDS TO BE SAWN OFF TO MAKE THE BOARD 2FEET AND 8INCHES LONG?
To determine the length of the shelf after 6 inches were cut off from a board that was initially 2 yards long, we need to convert yards to inches and subtract the 6 inches that were cut off.
1 yard is equal to 36 inches, so 2 yards would be equal to 2 * 36 = 72 inches.
Now, subtract the 6 inches that were cut off from the original length: 72 - 6 = 66 inches.
Therefore, the length of the shelf is 66 inches.
