Question

frank has a board that is 5/8 yards long he cuts off a piece that is 3/5 the length of the board how long is the piece of the board frank cutt off?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the board is 5/8 of a yard, then it is 5/8 of 36 inches (a yard is 36 inches).

5/8 * 36 = 22.5 inches.

Frank now cut's 3/5 of the length of the board. So he is going to cut off 3/5 of 22.5 inches.

(3/5) * 22.5 = 67.5 / 5 = 13.5 inches.

You don't specify what the units should be. I translate this into yards, but I think if you want something else, leave a comment.

13.5 /36 = 0.375 = 3/8 of a yard.
