Question

From a board 8 feet in length, Emmet cut two 2 ⅓ foot bookshelves. How much of the board remained?

Answer 1

3 2/5

I converted these into decimals, because I find it easier ^.^

We have an 8 feet board, and we twice remove 2 1/3 from that number.

8 - 2 1/3 = 5.7

5.7 - 2 1/3 = 3.4 or 3 2/5

~Hope this helps~

Answer 2

3 2/5 there was that much board left
