you are measuring a board so you can cut it you need to cut the wood from 1 1/4 inch. to 1/2 inch. how long is the piece of wood you are going to cut
The length of the piece of wood you are going to cut depends on the specific dimension of the wood that you have. Please provide the length of the board so I can assist you further.
your supposed to figure the length out
I apologize for the confusion.
To determine the length of the wood you need to cut, you would calculate the difference between the initial thickness (1 1/4 inch) and the final thickness (1/2 inch).
1 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch = 3/4 inch
Therefore, you should cut the wood to a length that is 3/4 inch shorter than its original length.
To determine the length of the piece of wood you need to cut, you will need to subtract the difference between the starting width (1 1/4 inch) and the desired width (1/2 inch) from the original length of the board.
Here are the steps to calculate the length of the wood you are going to cut:
1. Convert both the starting width and the desired width into fractions with a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator you can use is 4 since both fractions have a denominator that is a factor of 4.
Starting width: 1 1/4 inch = 5/4 inch (since 1 x 4 = 4 and 4 + 1 = 5)
Desired width: 1/2 inch = 2/4 inch (since 1 x 2 = 2 and 2 + 2 = 4)
2. Subtract the desired width from the starting width:
5/4 inch - 2/4 inch = 3/4 inch
3. Convert the result back to the mixed number form (whole number and fraction):
3/4 inch = 3/4 inch = 3/4 x 1 inch = 3/4 inch
Therefore, the length of the piece of wood you need to cut is 3/4 inch, or 0.75 inches.
