A carpenter has a 10 1/2 foot wood plank. He cuts off 4 1/4 feet to replace a deck board as well as 3 2/3 feet to repair a step. He uses the rest of the plank for a shelf. How many feet of wood does the carpenter have for the shelf? PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK AND EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER PLEASE I WILL MARK YOU BRAINIEST.

The carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4 feet

Step=3 2/3 feet

Shelf=x feet

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x

Change the fractions

21/2 = 17/4 + 11/3 + x

Add 17/4 + 11/3

21/2 =51+44/12 + x

21/2= 95/12 + x

Collect like terms

21/2 - 95/12 =x

126-95/12 = x

31/12=x

2 7/12 =x

Therefore, the carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4

Step=3 2/3

Shelf=x

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x
