Lucy saws a wooden rod into two pieces. The larger piece is 734 inches long. The original rod was 918 inches long. How many inches long is the resulting smaller piece?(1 point)
To find the length of the smaller piece, we need to subtract the length of the larger piece from the original length of the rod.
Original length of the rod: 918 inches
Length of the larger piece: 734 inches
Smaller piece = Original length - Larger piece
Smaller piece = 918 inches - 734 inches
Smaller piece = 184 inches. Answer: \boxed{184}.
Wrong make it into a fraction
To find the length of the smaller piece as a fraction, we need to subtract the length of the larger piece from the original length of the rod and then express it as a fraction of the original length.
Original length of the rod: 918 inches
Length of the larger piece: 734 inches
Smaller piece = Original length - Larger piece
Smaller piece = 918 inches - 734 inches
Smaller piece = 184 inches
Fraction of the smaller piece = Smaller piece / Original length
Fraction of the smaller piece = 184 inches / 918 inches
Fraction of the smaller piece = 184/918
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Fraction of the smaller piece = 92/459
Therefore, the length of the resulting smaller piece is 92/459 inches. Answer: \boxed{\frac{92}{459}}.
