<h2>Answer:</h2>

The crown molding that was left was:

                   36\frac{1}{8}\ in.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The length of the crown is: 48 1/2 in.

which could also be given by:

48\frac{1}{2}=\dfrac{97}{2}\ in.

Also, he cuts off one piece measuring 10 1/4 in. and another piece of 2 ft and 1/8 in.

i.e. the pieces were of length:

10\frac{1}{4}=\dfrac{41}{4}\ in.

and 2\frac{1}{8}=\dfrac{17}{8}\ in.

No, let the remaining piece be of length ' x'

This means that:

   \dfrac{97}{2}=\dfrac{41}{4}+\dfrac{17}{8}+x\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\x=\dfrac{97}{2}-\dfrac{41}{4}-\dfrac{17}{8}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{97\times 4-41\times 2-17\times 1}{8}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{388-82-17}{8}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{289}{8}\\\\i.e.\\\\x=36\frac{1}{8}\ in.

10 1/4 = 10 2/8 + 24 1/8 =34 3/8 ,48 4/8 - 34 3/8 = 14 1/8 inches left ,( - 1/4'' for 2 cuts @1/8'' each)
