The equation that most closely estimates the thickness of the two boards is $B = \frac 78 + \frac 5{12}$

<h3>How to determine the thickness of the two boards?</h3>

The thickness of the boards are given as:

$B1 = \frac 78$ inch

$B2 = \frac 5{12}$ inch

The thickness (B) of the two boards is calculated by adding the individual thickness of both boards.

So, we have:

$B = B1 + B2$

This gives

$B = \frac 78 + \frac 5{12}$

Hence, the equation that most closely estimates the thickness of the two boards is $B = \frac 78 + \frac 5{12}$
