Question
You are measuring a board so you can cut it. You need to cut the wood from 114 in. to 12 in. How long is the piece of wood you are going to cut?(1 point)
in.
The length of the piece of wood you are going to cut is 12 in.
To determine the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut, you subtract the length of the wood you want to cut from the length of the original board.
Length of original board = 114 in.
Length of wood you want to cut = 12 in.
To find the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut, subtract 12 in. from 114 in.
114 in. - 12 in. = 102 in.
Therefore, the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut is 102 in.
To find the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut, you need to subtract the initial length (114 in.) from the final length (12 in.). This will give you the difference, which represents the length of the piece of wood that needs to be cut.
To calculate the difference, you can use the following formula:
Length of wood to be cut = Final length - Initial length
Length of wood to be cut = 12 in. - 114 in.
Length of wood to be cut = -102 in.
However, a negative length does not make sense in this context. Therefore, it is likely that there is an error in the given information. Please double-check the measurements provided and recalculate the length of the piece of wood to be cut.
