2 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter has a board that is 8 feet long. He cuts off two pieces. One piece is 3 1/2 feet long and the other is 2 1/3 feet long. How much of the board is left?

Total length of the board = 8 feet

Piece A = 3 1/2 feet

Piece B = 2 1/3 feet

Piece A + piece B

= 3 1/2 feet + 2 1/3 feet

= 7/2 + 7/3

= (21+14) / 6

= 35/6

= 5 5/6 feet

Length of the board remaining = Total length of the board - length of the two pieces

= 8 feet - 35/6 feet

= (48-35) / 6

= 13/6 feet

= 2 1/6 feet

Length of the board remaining = 2 1/6 feet
