Texas HS Advanced Quantitative Reasoning Question of the Day

Use a digital caliper to mark 182.00 cm on each plank and re-cut until exact; record to 0.01 cm for every board.

Eyeball each cut by aligning to another board and use mental math to keep track; skip recording measurements to save time.

Use a tape measure with millimeter marks to mark 182.0 cm, make one test cut to verify fit, then set a stop block on the saw to replicate the length for the remaining 7 boards; record lengths to the nearest 0.5 cm.

Measure one plank at 182 cm and use it as a template for all others without re-measuring; do not record individual lengths.
