the correct answer is 1.4

Answer: \(1.4\text{ inches}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of each board = 8 feet

We know that 1 feet = 12 inches.

Then, the length of each board =\(8\times12=96\text{ inches}\)

Also, the each board must be cut to be 94.6 inches long.

Then, the length is cut off from each board = \(96\text{ inches}-94.6\text{ inches}=1.4\text{ inches}\)

Hence, \(1.4\text{ inches}\) of length is cut off each board .
