You are measuring a board so you can cut it. You need to cut the wood from 1 1/4 in. To 1/2 in. How long is the piece of wood you are going to cut?

Answer 1

To determine the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut, subtract 1/2 inch from 1 1/4 inches.

1 1/4 inches - 1/2 inch = (4/4) + (1/4) - (2/4) = 5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4 inch.

Therefore, the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut is 3/4 inch.
