Alright, lets get started.

Sophie has 5 pieces of string that are 4 yards each.

1 yards = 3 feet,

So, 4 yards =
4 * 3 =12 feet

Total number of string she has = 5 piece

So, total length she has =
5*12 = 60 feet

It means she had 60 feet string in starting.

Now, She uses 3 pieces that are each 3 feet long, means

She uses =
3*3 = 9 feet

So, remaining string length will be =
60 - 9 = 51 feet

Means 51 feet string does Sophie have. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
