All you need to saw off is 2' 8" inches to make the board that long. However:

4 yards = 12'

11' 12" - 2' 8" = 9' 4"
PsyDAG already answered quite neatly and then Ms. Sue the lazy comes in and wants to redirect the student to a question she answered lazily. Sad.
Unfortunately, you didn't notice that PsyDAG and I posted at the same time.
where did they get the 11ft?
11 feet 12 inches, makes it easier to do the math since you're subtracting feet and inches
