HELP Cutting 16 foot board for 21 foot length deck

Question

I have 16 foot board 1x6 for decking. the length it needs to be is 21 feet. What is the best way to cut the 16 foot boards with the least amount of waste?

Thanks In advance,

It generally depends on your deck support structure (i.e. 2x4 or joist spacing) and where you want to locate a joint or staggered joint. Thanks.
