Answer:
Length of the string May is left with = [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the string May is having initially = [tex]12\frac{1}{4}[/tex] inches or [tex]\frac{49}{4}[/tex] inches
If she gets off a piece that measures = [tex]8\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches or [tex]\frac{35}{4}[/tex] inches
So length of the string she is left with = Total length of the string - length of the piece taken off
= [tex]\frac{49}{4}-\frac{35}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{49-35}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{14}{4}[/tex] inches
≈ [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] inches
≈ [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches
Therefore, the length of remaining string will measure [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches.
