To find the best board for the length of the shelter, we need to determine which board has a length closest to 3.25 feet.
Converting 3.25 feet to inches:
3.25 feet = 3.25 * 12 inches = 39 inches.
Comparing the lengths of the boards:
- Board A: 36 inches
- Board B: 40 inches
- Board C: 42 inches
- Board D: 48 inches
Since the width of the shelter will be shorter than the length, we need to choose the board with a length closest to 39 inches.
Board B has a length of 40 inches, which is the closest to 39 inches. Therefore, Mia will use Board B for the length of the shelter.
Mia will use one of these boards for the length of the shelter. She knows she wants the length of the shelter to measure 3.25 feet. She will use a different board for the width of the shelter. The width of the shelter will be shorter than the length.
Which board will Mia use for the length of the shelter, given that 1 foot = 12 inches?
