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
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+8=3x-6
Subtract 3x from each side
5x-3x+8=3x-3x-6
2x+8 = -6
Subtract 8 from each side
2x+8-8 = -6-8
2x = -14
Divide by 2
2x/2 = -14/2
x = -7
Your answer would be A, B, and C.

the answer is 3.75 I'll explain ,</span><span>here: 1.5 times 2 equals 3 now go to a different section and divide 1.5 by 2 then add the two together it will look kind of like this:</span>
<span>(1.5*2)+(1.5/2)=3.75</span>
