joyall · Answer

if you divide 10 by 6 you get 1.6 repeatedly so if you turn it into a fraction which is 1 and 2/3

luana · Answer

Each table leg can be a maximum length of 1 2/3 feet. This is obtained by dividing the 10-foot board by the 6 legs needed. Therefore, each leg will be equal in length for balance and stability.
