Mr anderson is cutting lumber to use as a border around his garden one length of lumber is 8/9 of a foot long while the second piece of lumber is 1/3 of a foot long how much is the first piece than the second piece

5/9 of a foot

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

first length = 8/9 feet

second length = 1/3 feet

difference in length,

= 8/9 - 1/3

= 8/9 - 3/9

= (8-3) / 9

= 5/9 of a foot

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.

happy to

pls mark as brainliest.
