a piece of pipe 30 /3/4 in five pieces each 4 /1/3 in they are cutfrom the pipe how many remain?

Answer 1

30 ¾" long pipe
five pieces 4 ⅓" each
How long is the remaining piece of pipe?


30 ¾ - (5 x 4 ⅓)

convert fractions to a common denominator of 12.
4⅓ = 4 4/12 or 52/12

30 9/12 - (5 x 52/12)

30 9/12 - 260/12

30 9/12 - 21 8/12 = 9 1/12 inches

The remaining piece is 9 1/12 inches long.
