Answer 1

Sylvia has several wooden boards she will use to make the frame.

Each board is 12 feet long, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches thick.

Based on the design, what is the minimum number of boards Sylvia will need, and how many feet of the boards will remain after she makes the frame?

Solution:

Each board is 12 feet long, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches thick.

144 inches long = 12 feet

6 inches wide = 0.5 feet

2 inches thick = 0.17 feet

The design, along with its outer dimensions, Garden Plot Frame is 911 in.

Area of the outer frame = 144 x 6 = 864 in

Conclusion : She needs 4 boards and will have 6 feet left over
