Alright, i subtracted 192 inches (total inch of board) by 11 (pieces) x .125t hen i divided by 11 and i got about 17.33 inches per boardand to answer the question, it will affect the total length of the board by -1.375 inches.

11x ( -.125) = - 1.375 inches then 192 - 1.375 = 190.625 then divide 190.625 / 11 = 17.33 inch

Happy studying ^_^
