or 5 lengths of 234 feet to be cut from a board, the board must have a length of at least 1170 feet.

Let x represent the total length of the board so as to allow for the cutting of 5 lengths.

Since each length needed to be cut is 234 feet, hence:

x = number of lengths × feet per board

x = 5 lengths × 234 feet

x = 1170 feet

Hence for 5 lengths of 234 feet to be cut from a board, the board must have a length of at least 1170 feet.
