Michelle is building shelves for her room. She has a plank 137 inches long that she wants to cut into 7 shelves of equal length. The plank has jagged ends, so she will start by cutting 2 inches of each end. How long will each shelf be?

Because she cut off a total of 4 inches, the plank is now 133 inches long. Divide 133 by 7 to get her 7 equal parts, and each shelf will be 19 inches.
