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 \(\frac{7}{16}\).

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:

\(= \frac{14-4-3}{16}\)

\(= \frac{7}{16}\)

Here we have determined the common denominators.

Therefore we can conclude that the length of the third board is \(\frac{7}{16}\).
