Answer: Each dimension would be 21.1875 inches and 2.375 inches respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Width of a surfboard = [tex]21\dfrac{3}{16}\ inches[/tex]
Thickness of a surfboard = [tex]2\dfrac{3}{8}\ inches[/tex]
We need to rewrite each dimension as a decimal.
We first write it in improper fraction:
Width becomes
[tex]21\dfrac{3}{16}\\\\=\dfrac{339}{16}\ inches[/tex]
Thickness becomes
[tex]2\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{19}{8}\ inches[/tex]
Now, we change it into decimal form:
[tex]\dfrac{339}{16}=21.1875\ inches\\\\and\\\\\dfrac{19}{8}=2.375\ inches[/tex]
Hence, each dimension would be 21.1875 inches and 2.375 inches respectively.
