Question

Lucy saws a wooden rod into two pieces. The larger piece is 7 3/4 in. long. The original rod was 9 1/8 in. long. How many inches long is the resulting smaller piece?

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Convert to eighths: 9 1/8 = 73/8 and 7 3/4 = 62/8.  
73/8 − 62/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8.

So the smaller piece is 1 3/8 inches long.
