Lucy saws a wooden rod into two pieces. The larger piece is 734 inches long. The original rod was 918 inches long. How many inches long is the resulting smaller piece?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the length of the smaller piece, we need to subtract the length of the larger piece from the original length of the rod.

Original length of the rod: 918 inches
Length of the larger piece: 734 inches

Smaller piece = Original length - Larger piece
Smaller piece = 918 inches - 734 inches

Smaller piece = 184 inches. Answer: \boxed{184}.

Answer 2

Wrong make it into a fraction

Answer 3

To find the length of the smaller piece as a fraction, we need to subtract the length of the larger piece from the original length of the rod and then express it as a fraction of the original length.

Original length of the rod: 918 inches
Length of the larger piece: 734 inches

Smaller piece = Original length - Larger piece
Smaller piece = 918 inches - 734 inches
Smaller piece = 184 inches

Fraction of the smaller piece = Smaller piece / Original length
Fraction of the smaller piece = 184 inches / 918 inches
Fraction of the smaller piece = 184/918
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Fraction of the smaller piece = 92/459

Therefore, the length of the resulting smaller piece is 92/459 inches. Answer: \boxed{\frac{92}{459}}.
