To find the length of the remaining rope after Harold cut off 18 1/2 inches from the original 60 inches, you first need to subtract the cut length from the total length.
1. Convert 18 1/2 inches to decimal form.
- \(18 1/2 = 18 + 0.5 = 18.5\) inches.
2. Now, subtract this from the original length:
\[
60 - 18.5 = 41.5
\]
So, the length of the remaining rope is **41.5 inches** in decimal form.
