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 in inches?
You are cutting the wood from 114 in. to 12 in., so you will be cutting off 102 inches in total (114 in. - 12 in. = 102 in.). Therefore, the piece of wood you are going to cut is 102 inches long.
To determine the length of the piece of wood you need to cut, you subtract the desired final length from the starting length.
Given:
Starting length = 114 in
Final length = 12 in
To find the length of the wood piece you will cut:
Length = Starting length - Final length
Substituting the given values:
Length = 114 in - 12 in
Simplifying:
Length = 102 in
Therefore, the length of the piece of wood you need to cut is 102 inches.
