D 2.6 cm

Answer 1

To find out how much Derek needs to cut off from the 26 cm board to make a 24.5 cm long bookend, you can subtract the desired length from the original length of the board:

26 cm (original board) - 24.5 cm (length needed) = 1.5 cm

So, Derek needs to cut off 1.5 cm.

The answer is A 1.5 cm.
