The length of the piece of wood you are going to cut can be found by subtracting the initial measurement from the final measurement.
Final measurement: 1/2 in
Initial measurement: 1 1/4 in
To subtract these measurements, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4.
1/2 in can be represented as 2/4 in
1 1/4 in can be represented as 5/4 in
Now, we can subtract:
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
Therefore, the length of the piece of wood you are going to cut is 3/4 inches.
