Question

Carrie has a 10ft long plank of wood. She want's to cut three pieces that are each 2 2/3 feet long from the plank. how long will the plank be after she cuts off the three pieces?

Answer 1

10 - (2 * 2 2/3) = ?

Answer 2

I think it should be 10 - (3* 2 2/3), since Carrie wants to cut three pieces of wood. which should give you the answer of 2 ft of wood left.
10- (3* 2 2/3)=
10- (3* 8/3)=
10-8= 2ft

Answer 3

Oops -- Gaby is right. I goofed!

Answer 4

2 ft of wood left.
