To find out how much cable is left after James cut off 4.2 feet from the original length of 11.54 feet, subtract the length cut from the original length:
\[
11.54 \, \text{feet} - 4.2 \, \text{feet} = 7.34 \, \text{feet}
\]
So, the piece of cable that was left is **7.34 feet** long.
\[
11.54 \, \text{feet} - 4.2 \, \text{feet} = 7.34 \, \text{feet}
\]
So, the piece of cable that was left is **7.34 feet** long.
