Answer:

3.5 feet

Explanation:

In order to solve this we would have to subract the peices that were cut off from the total of 6.5 feet before it was cut.

Equation:

1 5/6 + 1 1/4= 3

Then we take the total of 3 that was cut off and subtract it from the total of 6.5 feet which would be 3.5 feet (rounded)

The answer is 3.5ft
