    Answer: the length of Lucia's piece of wood is 10 1/8 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Carmen has a piece of wood that measures 8 1/2 inches in length. Converting 8 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 17/2 inches.

    Lucia has a piece of wood that is 1 5/8 longer than Carmens. Converting 1 5/8 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 13/8 inches. This means that the length of Lucia's piece of wood would be

    17/2 + 13/8 = (68 + 13) / 8 = 81/8 inches.

    Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

    10 1/8 inches
