Answer:

3/8 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(I'm using 9.25 since 9 1/4 is the same thing!)

15 x 9.25 = 138.75 Inches.

The next step is:

144 - 138.75 = 5.25 Inches for spaces.

referring back to the question we know that between the 15 boards there are only 14 spaces, so next we'll:

5.25 ÷ 14 = 3/8

therefore

The width of the spacing between each board is 3/8 Inches.

Answer: 3/8 is the answer
