Answer: 7 long boards and 28 short boards

Explanation:so if we say from 5 boards we have 1 that is long and 4 that is short and then repeat this until 35 which means in 10 boards we will have 2 long boards and 8 short boards ,in 20 boards we will have 16 short boards and 4 long boards.

There were 27 longboards
8 short boards.

I forgot how to do this, so I use logic instead of math. Since we know 1 in 4 boards are LB, you keep adding 1+4 until you reach 35. Then, you take the number of time 1 was added minus 35 to get SB.
