The notation is ambiguous, so I’ll give both reasonable readings.
1) If the pieces are 1 3/5 and 3 3/10 inches:
1 3/5 = 16/10, 3 3/10 = 33/10, sum = 49/10.
Remaining = 11 − 49/10 = 110/10 − 49/10 = 61/10 = 6 1/10 in.
2) If the pieces are 13/5 and 33/10 inches:
13/5 = 26/10, 33/10 = 33/10, sum = 59/10.
Remaining = 11 − 59/10 = 110/10 − 59/10 = 51/10 = 5 1/10 in.
