Question

Harriet cuts 4 feet from a 9 foot length of rope. Then she cuts 14 inches from the rope. How many inches of rope are left?

Answer 1

3.8ft

Explanation:

Given data

The total length of the rope= 9ft

We are told that 4ft was cut

=9-4

=5ft

Also, 14 inches from the rope was cut

=14 in to ft

=1.16667ft

=5-1.16667

=3.8ft

Hence the remainder is 3.8ft
