Final answer:
To find out how much wallpaper is left on the roll, we need to subtract the length of the cut wallpaper from the original length of the roll. In this case, the length of the cut wallpaper is 2 5/6 feet. Subtracting this from the original length, we find that there are 7 1/6 feet of wallpaper left on the roll.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how much wallpaper is left on the roll, we need to subtract the length of the cut wallpaper from the original length of the roll. Kyle cut off a piece of wallpaper that is 2 5/6 feet long. If we convert this mixed number to an improper fraction, we get 17/6 feet. Let's subtract this from the original length:
Roll length - Cut length = Remaining length
Let's say the original length of the roll is 10 feet:
10 feet - 17/6 feet = 60/6 feet - 17/6 feet = 43/6 feet
Therefore, there are 43/6 feet or 7 1/6 feet of wallpaper left on the roll.
