This is an incorrect question, the correct question is given below.

Martin is building a model. He cuts two pieces of wood that are each
`6(1)/(3)` inches long from a board with a total length of 18 inches. What is the length, in inches, of the remaining part of the board?

Answer : The length of the remaining part of the board is
`5(1)/(3)` inches.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Total length of the board = 18 inches

Length of each piece of wood cut from the board =
`6(1)/(3)` inches =
`(19)/(3)` inches

Length of 2 pieces of wood cut from the board =
`2* (19)/(3)` inches

=
`(38)/(3)` inches

Length of the remaining part of the board = Total length of the board - Length of 2 pieces of wood cut from the board

Length of the remaining part of the board =
`18-(38)/(3)` inches

=
`(54-38)/(3)` inches

=
`(16)/(3)` inches

=
`5(1)/(3)` inches

Therefore, the length of the remaining part of the board is
`5(1)/(3)` inches.
