Anthony bought an 8 foot board. He cut off 3/4 of the board to build a shelf, and gave 1/3 of the rest to his brother for an art project. How many inches long was the piece anthony gave to his brother?

Or you could just make the denominators both to 12 then subtract them and get the answer 5/12

Convert your feet to inches.

So 8 times by 12 = 96 inches

if you have 3/4 of the board used.

3/4 =.75

if you were to times 96 by. 75 = 72 inches.

So you used 72 inches and you have 24 inches left

now do 1/3 =.33

times. 33 by 24 = 8

8 inches is how long you would give to Anthony's brother.
