If he had 4 half feet of wire, then he would have 7 feet of whole wire.

To find out how much more wire he needs, subtract how much he has so far from how much he totally needs.
13.71-7=6.71
He needs 6.71 more feet of wire.

Hope this helps!

Just subtract the two values:

14.5 - 13.71 = 0.79

He had 0.79 feet of wire left

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
