Solution:
Let x be the shortest board.
Then x + 3 is the second piece and 2x is the third piece.
x + (x + 3) + 2x ≤ 91
and 2x ≥ (x + 3) + 5
x + (x + 3) + 2x≤ 91
4x + 3 ≤ 91
4x ≤ 91 – 3
4x ≤88
x ≤ 44/2
2x ≥ (x + 3) + 5
2x ≥ x + 8
x ≥ 8
i.e, 8 ≤ x < 22
Thus the possible lengths of the shortest board is at least 8cm long but not more than 22cm long.
