Subtract 3 3/4 from 10 1/2.  Note that the LCD is 4, so 10 1/2 = 10 2/4.

What is    10 2/4
               -  3 3/4
-------------------------
                     ?

Since 2/4 is smaller than 3/4, you must borrow 1 from that 10.

Now your problem looks like   9 6/4
                                               -3 3/4
                                             ----------
                                                 6 3/4   (answer)

The remnant of the board is 6 3/4 feet long.

How do I solve this?
grigory [225]

Answer:

  x° = 54.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of angle x is half the difference of the intercepted arcs. The larger arc is shown as 141°. The smaller one must be computed from the arcs shown:

  360° -187° -141° = 32°

So, the measure of x° is ...

  x° = (141° -32°)/2

  x° = 54.5°
