Answer:

New length is 3 3/20 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.

We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

Now we're going to simplify --->  5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8

                                                      5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8              

                                                      (multiply both sides by 6)

                                                      5x = 63/4

                                                      (divide both sides by 5)

                                                      x = 63/20

                                                      x= 3.15

So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.

The correct answer is:  [C]:  " 5 " .
__________________________________________________________
                                →  " a = 5 " .
__________________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________ 

Given:  " a + 1 <span>− 2 = 4 " ; Solve for "a" ; 

4 + 2 = 6 ; 

6 </span>− 1 = 5 ;   →  a = 5 ;

To check our work:

5 + 1 − 2 = ? 4 ?? ;  

5 + 1 = 6 ; 

6 − 2 = 4.  Yes!

So the answer is:  [C]:  " 5 ". 
_________________________________________________________
                          →   " a = 5 " .
