Question

William bought a piece of wood that is 3 feet long. He cuts it into two pieces. One piece is 14 inches long. How long is the other​ piece?

Answer 1

22 inches

Explanation:

One foot is equal to 12 inches. Therefore, 3 feet equals 36 inches.

3 x 12 = 36

William cut the board into two separate pieces. Since one of the pieces is 14 inches, you will need to subtract 14 from the beginning amount (36 inches) to find the length of the other piece.

36 - 14 = 22 inches

Answer 2

The other board is 22 inches

Explanation:

3 ft is 36 inches and 36 - 14 = 22 inches
