Answer:

[/tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] inch

Step-by-step explanation:

thickness of wood = 1 1 / 3 inches = 4 / 3 inches

Amount of total drill = 3 inches

Amount of joist drill = amount of total drill - thickness of wood

= $3 - \frac{4}{3}=\frac{9-4}{3}=\frac{5}{3}=1\frac{2}{3}$

Thus, the amount of drill in joist is [/tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] inch.
