Answer:

x less 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

"x -16.5" means 16.5 is subtracted from x. The resulting value is 16.5 less than x. The wording "x less 16.5" basically means "x minus 16.5" and/or "x reduced by 16.5".

Subtraction is not commutative, so "16.5 decreased (or reduced) by x", meaning "16.5 -x" or "16.5 minus x", is not the same thing.

First, convert 4 feet into inches - 48 inches. Then, divide 48 by 14 to get 3.43, so he can have 3 14-inch long pieces. To get the left over out of a foot, take 14 x 3 to get 42, then subtract 42 from your original 48 inches to get 6 inches left, which is half of a foot.
