Question

Ella stacks two boards under a table to make it level. One board is į inch thick. The

other board is inch thick. Which equation most closely estimates the thickness of
5
12
the two boards?

Answer 1

To estimate the thickness of the two boards, add their individual thicknesses. The equation that represents the estimated thickness is 9/8 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the approximate thickness of the two boards, you can add their individual thicknesses. One board is ⅝ inch thick, and the other board is ½ inch thick. To estimate their combined thickness, add these two values: ⅝ + ½. Convert the fractions to the same denominator: ⅝ becomes 5/8 and ½ becomes 4/8. Then add the fractions: 5/8 + 4/8 = 9/8.

To simplify the fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1 in this case. 9/8 ÷ 1/1 = 9/8. So, the equation that represents the estimated thickness of the two boards is 9/8 inch.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the problem description is incomplete or wrongly copied.

we don't know the thickness of the boards, and we cannot understand what we need to calculate, and what the answer options are.
