Ron is nailing three boards of the same thickness together If the total thickness of the nailed boards is 4.5 in.,what is the thickness of each board?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the thickness of each board.
3x = 4.5 multiply both sides by (1/3)
x = 4.5/3
x = 1.5 in
Each board is 1.5 inches thick.
