If the stack is 21ins and each board is 1 3/2 ins thick that means you 21/(1 3/2) so you end up getting 8.4. Because you can't have a part of a board you round the number down to 8 boards.

What is the fifth term in the binomial expansion of (x + 5)8?

AlekseyPX

$(a+b)^n\\
\displaystyle
T_r=\binom{n}{r-1}a^{n-r+1}b^{r-1}\\\\
T_5=\binom{8}{5-1}x^{8-5+1}\cdot5^{5-1}\\
T_5=\binom{8}{4}x^4\cdot5^4\\
T_5=\dfrac{8!}{4!4!}\cdot x^4 \cdot5^4\\
T_5=\dfrac{5\cdot6\cdot7\cdot8}{2\cdot3\cdot4}\cdot x^4\cdot5^4\\
T_6=2\cdot7\cdot x^4\cdot5^5\\
T_6=43750x^4
