The amount of wood left is about 3/4 feet long
Sum of fractions
Fractions are ratios of two integers. Given the following parameters
Total length of lumber = 4ft
If he cut three pieces each 3/4 ft. long, and two pieces each 1/2 ft, then the total pieces that he cut will be:
Total pieces that was cut = 3(3/4) + 2(1/2)
Total pieces that was cut =9/4 + 1
Total pieces that was cut = 9+4/4
Total pieces that was cut = 13/4
Determine the amount left
Amount left = 4 - 13/4
Amount left = 3/4 feet
Hence the amount of wood left is about 3/4 feet long
