Answer:
5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42
Step-by-step explanation:
We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:
1/8.4 = 5/42
1/8.8 = 5/44
1/9.2 = 5/46
1/9.6 = 5/48
__
<em>Check</em>
- 1/8 = 0.125
- 5/42 ≈ 0.119
- 5/44 ≈ 0.114
- 5/46 ≈ 0.109
- 5/48 ≈ 0.104
- 1/10 = 0.100
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, first we need to figure out how much of the board Rafi cut off.
To do this, we need to multiply the length of each piece by the number of pieces he cut off.
3 7/8 = 3.875
3.875 * 3 = 11.625
Now, because we knew Rafi cut off 11.625 feet off of the board, we just need to subtract this length from the length of the entire board to find the remaining length.
15 1/2 = 15.5
15.5 - 11.625 = 3.875
There is 3.875 feet or 3 7/8 of the board left.
