Answer:


33(3)/(8)

Explanation:

A piece of crown molding is 64 1/4 inches long


64 (1)/(4) =(64 \cdot 4+1)/(4) =(257)/(4)

you cut 30 7/8 inches off


30 (7)/(8) =(30 \cdot 8+7)/(8) =(247)/(8)


(247)/(8) is cut off. So we subtract from the length of crown


(257)/(4)-(247)/(8)

Make the denominators same . LCD is 8


(514)/(8)-(247)/(8)


(267)/(8)


33(3)/(8)
