Question

The total length of three pieces of wood is 7/8 of a yard. The lengths of two of the pieces of wood are 1/4 of a yard & 3/16 of a yard. What is the length of the other piece of the wood?

Answer 1

if you have them all have the same denominator it would be the length of the three pieces are 14/16 and the two pieces are 4/16 and 3/16 together that makes 7/16 which would leave the last piece of wood to be 7/16
