A carpenter is measuring the board with which he is working. Because one end of the measuring tape is unreadable, the carpenter places the measuring tape so that one end of the board is at 3 inches and is at 15 inches. How long is the board?

The measurement starts at 3 inches and ends at 15 inches

The length of the board is 15 - 3 = 12 inches
