My son's homework question asks: divide a board that is 11 5/8" into 3 equil pieces.
We can get an answer, but when we try to check the answer by multiplying the answer
by 3 we come up with a number close to but not the same as the original. I can't see
how this can come out evenly. Do you think that the teacher expects the kids to
give an approximation or possibly gave them a problem that would not come out
evenly? Please help. Thanks
