A roll of fabric was 144 inches long. A customer bought 2 feet of the fabric. How many feet of fabric were remaining?

2 feet = 24 in

144 - 24 = 120

120/12 = ______ feet

10

Right

5678

To find how many feet of fabric were remaining, we first need to convert the length of the fabric roll from inches to feet.

We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So, to convert inches to feet, we divide the number of inches by 12.

Given that the length of the fabric roll is 144 inches, we divide 144 by 12 to get:

144 inches / 12 = 12 feet

Now, we know that the customer bought 2 feet of fabric. So, to find out how many feet of fabric were remaining, we subtract the amount bought from the total length:

12 feet - 2 feet = 10 feet

Therefore, there were 10 feet of fabric remaining.
