QuestionCarla uses 4.25 inch boards for a table at least 36 inches wide. Find the minimum number of boards needed.

Studdy Solution
Since we can't use a fraction of a board, we need to round up to the nearest whole number to ensure the table is at least36 inches wide.$$Number\, of\, boards = \lceil8.47\rceil =9$$Carla needs to use at least9 boards to build the table.
