Answer:
35 7/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total length of the wood before any cutting was done = 4 * the mean
= 4* 36 5/8 = 4* 293/8
= 146 1/2 feet.
So the length of the fourth piece = 146 1/2 - (36 3/4 + 36 3/8 + 37 1/2)
= 146 1/2 - 110 5/8
= 36 + 1/2 - 5/8
= 35 7/8 answer.
Turn the mean into an improper fraction.
36 5/8 = 293/8
Multiply the mean by four.
293/8 * 4/1 = 1172/8 or 146 1/2
Add all the sides together.
36 3/4 + 36 + 3/8 + 37 1/2 = 110 5/8 or 885/8
Subtract.
1172/8 - 885/8 = 287/8 or 35 7/8
Best of Luck!
