1.) You plan to cut a board into 3 pieces to repair part of a railing. You are going to cut the two ends of the board off into two equal pieces that are 1.4 feet long, if the remaining piece needs to be 1.17 times longer than the each of the first two cuts what length board should you buy? Round to the nearest tenth.

The board length that will be bought is 4.438 feet

Since the board will be cut into 3 pieces. From the information given in the question, the lengths of the board will be:

= 1.4 feet + 1.4 feet + (1.17 × 1.4 feet)

= 1.4 feet + 1.4 feet + 1.638 feet

= 4.438 feet

In conclusion, the board length that should be bought is 4.438 feet.

0.6, 3/5, and 6% are the 3 same portion.
