Question

Harriet had a 2 1/4-foot length of board. She will use 1 2/3 feet for a project today. How many feet of board will remain? (Hint: you can use 9/4 and 5/3 if you wish.)(

Answer 1

you will have 47/12 the simplify it to 3 11/12 feet of the board remaining

Answer 2

If you started out with 9/4 and you use 5/3, you are left with:

9/4 - 5/3
Get a common denominator...
27/12 - 20/12
Now subtract...
= 7/12

gummgumm, you can't end up with more than you started with
