Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Do this by converting the numbers to decimals
9 1/4 inches / 12 inches / foot = .770833 feet to 6 decimal places.
9.770833 feet is the length of the given board.
11.25 inches = 11.25 / 12 = 0.9375 feet
So the amount of board used is 9.770833/0.9375 = 10. 42222 feet used in cutting up the board.
Therefore there is 10.42222187 board cut up. The decimal is the remainder.
0.42222187 * 12 = 5.066 inches or rounded to 5 inches.
