Final answer:
To find the remaining length of the rope, convert 7 1/2 feet to inches and subtract the length of the 11-inch rope pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to convert 7 1/2 feet to inches and subtract the length of the smaller rope pieces. We know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so to convert 7 1/2 feet to inches, we multiply 7.5 by 12:
7.5 feet x 12 inches/foot = 90 inches
Next, we need to subtract the length of the 11-inch rope pieces that were cut from the total length of the rope:
90 inches - (11 inches x number of pieces) = remaining length of rope
Since we don't know how many 11-inch pieces were cut from the rope, we cannot determine the exact remaining length. However, we can say that the remaining length will be smaller than the original length of 90 inches. So, the correct answer is either A. 1 inch or B. 2 inches.
