Jorge is building a table out of boards that are 3.75 inches wide. He wants the table to be at least 36 inches wide. What is the least number of whole boards he can use?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we can reverse the calculation or whatever you call it
X(how many boards)x3,75 (length per board)= 36 (total length for the table)

now we reverse it by writing 36/3,75 and we get 9,6.

but we need a whole board/number. which means instead of having 9 and 0.6 boards, we add an entire board instead. 9+1=10
