In woodworking class, Carlos has a board with a length of 10 5/6 inches. He cut two boards from it at a length of 2 1/4 inches each. How much of the original board is left?
8 7/12 of the board is left.
Show work instead of guessing. We get nothing when you guess
10 5/6 = 65/6
2 1/4 = 9/4
2 (9/4) = 9/2
So the length left is
65/6 - 9/2 =
65/6 - 27/6 =
38 / 6 =
19 / 3 =
6 1/3 in
