A carpenter needs to cut a 5 foot, 8 inch piece of wood from an 8-foot board to make a repair to a door. How many inches of wood will he have left after he makes the cut and repairs the cut and repairs the door?

Step-by-step explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

length of board in inches = 8 ft × (12 in)/ft = 96 in

length of cut in inches = 5 ft + 8 in = 5 ft × (12 in)/ft + 8 in = 60 in + 8 in =  68 in.

96 - 68 = 28 inches left

step-by-step explanation:

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
