Answer:
The amount of wood left is 36 9/16 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the amount of wood left
To calculate this, we have to subtract what is cut and what is wasted from the original total length
So we have what is left as follows;
45 1/2 - 8 7/8 - 1/16
45 1/2 = 91/2
8 7/8 = 71/8
91/2 - 71/8 - 1/16
(728 - 142 - 1)/16
585/16 = 36 9/16 in
