A nail 6 1/3 inches long is driven into a board 2 2/5 inches thick. How much of the nail
protrudes from the other side of the board?


Sagot :

The nail protrudes 5[tex]\frac{9}{15}[/tex] inches from the other side of the board having a thickness of  2[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] inches

Given that A nail 6 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] inches long is driven into a board 2 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] inches thick and asked to find out how much the nail protrudes into the board.

To calculate the nail protrudes, need to subtract the length of the nail and the thickness of the board.

Length of nail protrudes= 6 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] - 6 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Length of nail protrudes=[tex]\frac{19}{3}[/tex]-[tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

Length of nail protrudes=[tex]\frac{59}{15}[/tex]

Length of nail protrudes= 5[tex]\frac{9}{15}[/tex] .

Therefore,The nail protrudes 5[tex]\frac{9}{15}[/tex] inches from the other side of the board having a thickness of  2[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] inches
