A carpenter used a piece of wood 11 feet, 6 inches long to make three shelves of equal length. What is the length of each shelf?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 feet 10 inches

or

46 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the total length of the wood, convert 11 feet to inches

1 feet = 12 inches

11 x 12 = 132 inches

132 + 6 = 138 inches

If the length of each shelve is equal,

length of each shelve = 138 / 3 = 46 inches

or 46/12 = 3 feet 10 inches
