To find out how many inches are in 5 feet 3 inches, we need to remember that there are 12 inches in a foot. So we can start by multiplying 5 (feet) by 12 (inches) to get 60 inches. Then we add the remaining 3 inches to get a total of 63 inches.
Now that we know the total length of the board is 63 inches, we can divide it into 3 equal parts since we want to cut it into thirds. To do this, we can divide 63 by 3, which gives us 21 inches per piece.
So each piece of the board will be 21 inches long. It's important to note that when working with measurements, we must always pay attention to the units we are using and convert them when necessary to avoid confusion or mistakes.
