Answer:

No, it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bulletin board is  

[tex]35\frac{3}{4}=\frac{35.4+3}{4}=\frac{143}{4}=35.75[/tex] inches wide

Each postcard is

[tex]5\frac{7}{8}=\frac{40+7}{8}=\frac{47}{8}=5.875[/tex] inches wide

So, the maximum number of postcards than can be displayed in a row is

[tex]\frac{37.75}{5.875}=6.085\approx 6[/tex]

So, the best estimate is 6 postcards per row.
