A carpenter cut pieces from a 12 foot long board that were 4 3/4 feet long and 3 1/2 feet long. What is the length of the remaining part if the board?

Is this correct?

49.8

Lol... Sorry is this better?

3.75

Yes, 3.75 = 3 3/4 feet left.

Thanks Ms. Sue

You're welcome, Amy.

12 - (4.75 + 3/5) = ?

Good heavens! How did you do that? You only started with a 12-foot board.

Please note my typo correction. It should be 3.5, not 3/5.
