How many boards did the carpenter start with? 2014-05-08
From Yanly:
A carpenter has several boards of equal length. he cuts 3/5 of each board. After cutting the boards, the carpenter notices that he has enough pieces left over to make up the same length as 4 of the original boards. How many boards did the carpenter start with?
