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?
The length of the piece of wood that needs to be cut is 114 in - 12 in = <<114-12=102>>102 in.
To find the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut, you subtract the final desired length (12 inches) from the initial length (114 inches):
Length of the piece of wood = Initial length - Final desired length
Therefore, in this case:
Length of the piece of wood = 114 inches - 12 inches
By subtracting, we get:
Length of the piece of wood = 102 inches
So, the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut is 102 inches.
