Hello! First, we must remember:

1 foot = 12 inches

Knowing that, let's solve the exercise:

• She made 5 strips, and in each one she used 14 inches of wood. So, 5 * 14 = ,70 inches

,

• 3 strips, each with 1 foot. So, 3 * 12 =, 36 inches

,

• 4 strips, each with 1/6 foot. So, 4 * 2 = ,8 inches

In all, she used 70 + 36 + 8 = 114 inches of wood.
