Answer:

3/10 ft

Explanation:

3 4/5 is greater than 3 1/2.

To make both sticks even, we must cut the difference in the lengths from the longer stick. We need to subtract to find out how much to cut.

3 4/5 - 3 1/2 =

We need a common denominator for 5 and 2. The least common denominator for 5 and 2 is 10.

= 3 8/10 - 3 5/10

= 3/10

Answer: 3/10 ft
