Answer:
2 and 1/6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this you would just put aside 17 and 14 and you would subtract 5/12 by 5/8. To subtract these you would just find the lcm which is 48 and that would be denominator and to make the top the same as the bottom you would just multiply how much it took the denominator and multiply the numerator. So to subtract them you would get 20/48 for 5/12 and 30/48 for 5/8. When you subtract them you get -10/12 so then you will subtract 17 and 14 which is 3 then you will subtract 3 - 10/12 and you would get 2 and 2/12 which can simplify to 2 1/6 feet
