Question

Josiah has A piece of wood that measures 10 1/8 feet. He wants to make 5 shelves . If each shelf is 1 3/4 long , does he have enough to make 5 shelves ?

Answer 1

Yes, he has enough to make 5 shelves

Explanation:

Since each shelve is 1 3/4 long, and the piece of wood is 10 1/8

Making five shelves = 5 * 1 3/4 => 8 3/4

8 3/4 is way less than the 10 1/8, therefore there is enough.
