162 board ft

192 board ft

172 board ft

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A board foot is 1 inch thick by 1 ft by 1 ft

(3) 1 x 6  8'  are already 1 inch thick ½ ft wide and 8 ft long

  3 x 1 x (6/12) x 8 = 12 board ft.

(6) 2" x 10" x 12'  are 2 thick x 10/12 ft wide by 12 ft long

  6 x 2 x (10/12) x 12 = 120 board ft.

(6)  1" x 8" x 10'

  6 x 1 x (8/12) x 10 = 40 board ft

12 + 120 + 40 = 172 board ft
