TO BUILD A SHELF NDS A BOARD 2 YARDS HAS A BOARD THAT IS 66INCHED LONG. HOW MUCH LONGERR OF A BOARD SHOULD HE USE TO BUILD THE SHELF?
To determine how much longer of a board the person should use to build the shelf, we need to calculate the difference between the length of the existing board (66 inches) and the desired length for the shelf. However, we need to convert the measurement of the board in yards to inches in order to compare the two.
1 yard is equal to 36 inches. Therefore, if the person has a board that is 2 yards long, it is 2 * 36 = 72 inches long.
Now, we can find the difference between the length of the existing board and the desired length for the shelf:
Desired Length - Existing Length = Shelf Length Difference
Let's assume the desired length for the shelf is X inches.
X - 72 = Shelf Length Difference
To find out how much longer of a board the person should use, we need to solve for X:
X = 72 + Shelf Length Difference
Since the question does not provide the desired length for the shelf, we cannot determine the exact answer. However, if you have a specific shelf length in mind, you can simply subtract 72 inches (or 2 yards) from that desired length to find out how much longer board should be used.
