Question

You are making a banner from a piece of paper that is 11/12 feet long. You cut off a piece that is 1/4 feet long. How much paper is left to make the banner?

Answer 1

2/3 feet

Explanation:

Available length = 11/12 feet

Piece cut out = 1/4 feet

How much paper is left to make the banner?

Paper remaining = available length - piece cut out

= 11/12 - 1/4

= 11-3 /12

= 8/12

= 2/3 feet

Paper left to make the banner = 2/3 feet
