Question 394718: Mark had a board 25 1/2 inches long which he cut into 10 pieces. How long would the board be if it had 17 pieces of the same thickness? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25 1/2 = 51/2
51/2 * 1/10 = 51/20 thickness of each piece.
51/20 * 17 = 867/20 = 43 7/20 "
