Tom had a board that was 4 ft. 5 in. long. He cut off a piece that was 1 ft. 9 in. long. How much board does he have left?
4 ft, 5 in = 3 ft, 17 in.
3 ft, 17 in, - 1 ft. 9 in = 2 ft, 8 in
NICE MS. SUE?!?!?!?!??!?!?WHAT!!!!!!
She is always nice. And im not saying this to be nice to her because its not like she can see this sadly she passed a year ago. But your obviously new.
@Reed: "Ms. Sue" is not "nice" as you say. (Not at all.) Also, I'm positive that you did not know "Ms. Sue" personally. Therefore, you don't actually know if she is "resting in peace."
thank you
yall have you ever considered that ms sue could be your relative? or maybe the fact that she could be 82? hmmmm? what if she didn't die? maybe its a rumor spread by an i d i o t who doesnt know jack
go ms sue u r the best
To find out how much board Tom has left, we need to subtract the length of the piece he cut off from the original length of the board.
First, let's convert the measurements to a common unit. Since we are dealing with feet and inches, it is easier to work with inches only.
The original length of the board is 4 ft. 5 in., which is equal to 4 x 12 inches (for the feet) + 5 inches = 48 + 5 = 53 inches.
The length of the piece that Tom cut off is 1 ft. 9 in., which is equal to 1 x 12 inches (for the feet) + 9 inches = 12 + 9 = 21 inches.
To find how much board Tom has left, we subtract the length of the cut-off piece from the original length:
53 inches - 21 inches = 32 inches.
Therefore, Tom has 32 inches of board left.
