The total length of two boards is 94 5/8\". The difference between there two length's is 24 1/4\". Find the length's of the two board's.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the shorter board length be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then the longer board length is \"x+24 1/4\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "sharter + longer = total
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+ 24 1/4 = 94 5/8
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Adjust the fraction:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 24 2/8 = 94 5/8
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 70 3/8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 35 3/16 (length of the shorter board)
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "x + 24 1/4 = 35 3/16 + 24 4/16 = 59 7/16 (length of the longer board)
\n" ); document.write( "================================================
