Sam has a piece of rope that is 3 1/2 feet long. He cuts the rope so that one piece
1 1/3 feet long. How long is the other piece ?

2 1/6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on subtraction of fraction

Given data

Total length of rope 3 1/2 feet

Let's convert mixed fraction to proper fraction = 7/2ft

First piece of rope = 1 1/3ft

= 4/3ft

Hence the second piece of the rope is = 7/2-4/3= 21-8/6= 13/6

Second piece = 2 1/6 ft

by definition, an arc subtended by a central angle of some given measure has the same measure. so .
