Question

Malcolm started with a board that was 5 3/4 feet long. He then cut off a section that was 1 feet long. How much of the board is left?

Answer 1

`4(3)/(4)ft`

Explanation:

Given that Malcolm started with
`5(3)/(4)ft` of board, then cut off a section that was 1 foot in length, you can subtract the length of the section from the total amount he started with:

`5(3)/(4)ft` - 1 =
`4(3)/(4)ft`
