Joshua has 5 pieces of wood that each measure 3 and 3/4 feet long. He uses 1/2 of the wood for a school project He uses 1/4 of the wood to make a bird house for his mother. How much wood does Joshua have left over?

18 feet of wood left.
3 3/4 x 5 = 18 3/4
18 3/4 - 1/2 (2/4) = 18 1/4
18 1/4 - 1/4 = 18
