3.38

To find the measurement of the leftover piece, you need to subtract the length of the piece that is cut off from the original length.

Original length = 4.75 feet
Length after the cut = 1.37 feet

To find the leftover piece, subtract the length after the cut from the original length:

Leftover piece = Original length - Length after the cut
Leftover piece = 4.75 feet - 1.37 feet

To subtract these two values, align the decimal points and subtract each place value:

4.75
- 1.37
_______
3.38 feet

Therefore, the measurement of the leftover piece is 3.38 feet.
