If there are 15 boards there are 14 gaps in-between. 
But first, 15 boards each 9 and 1/4th inches so you get  a total of 138 inches and 3/4th
If you subtract that from 144 you get 5 inches and 1/4th. The remaining amount is the total of all of the distance from the spacing.
Then you divide that by 14 (number of gaps/spacing in-between.)
So you get .375 inches. (3/8)
So width of the spacing between each board is 3/8ths of a inch

2 wholes and 3/12 + 3/? = 2 wholes and 5/8 .what is the missing number ?
Sladkaya [172]
Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.

Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x

3/x =  5/8 - 3/12

Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24

3/x = 9/24

Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8

3/x = 3/8

Obviously this means x = 8
