Answer:
1/4
Explanation:
First - Convert all fraction with the Greatest Common Factor of 12
12 1/2 = 150/12
4 1/4 = 51/12
2 2/3 = 96/12
Second - Subtract the patio wood and the total
150/12 - 51/12 - 96/12 = 3/12
Third - Simplify 3/12 to 1/4
1/4 of the total wood is left to build the frame of the birdhouse.
