Sandy is working with a carpenter to frame a house. They are using 8-foot-long boards, but each board must be cut to be 94.6 inches long. How much is cut off each board? (1 foot = 12 inches)
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 .
