4 1/2 + 3 3/4 = 4 2/4 + 3 3/4 = 7 5/4 = 8 1/4...what he needs for A and B

He used 12 inches of cable...
12 - 8 1/4 = 11 4/4 - 8 1/4 = 3 3/4....length left after A and B are made

he doesn't have enough to make the last one...
5 1/8 - 3 3/4 = 41/8 - 15/4 = 41/8 - 30/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8....he is short by 1 3/8 inches
