Question

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) meh need sum help

Answer 1

Okay so you have to convert 8 feet to inches

They gave you a ratio (1 ft = 12 in)

Use proportions to find the measure in inches first

\(\large\frac{8ft}{}\cdot\frac{12in}{1ft}\)

Answer 2

From then subtract the amount used per board (94.6)
