To estimate the total length of the wooden boards Nathan needs, we can round each length to the nearest whole number and then add them together.
- 16.45 feet rounds to 16 feet
- 7.3 feet rounds to 7 feet
- 12.8 feet rounds to 13 feet
Now, we can sum these rounded lengths:
16 + 7 + 13 = 36 feet
The closest estimate from the provided options is **35 feet**.
