Answer is : 6 4/6
in simplest form is : 6 2/3
9.4 Ft for the first one
7.5 Ft for the second piece
12 Ft for the Third
he uses 5.2 Ft from the first piece of wood so 9.4 - 5.2= 4.6ft
he uses 6.1 ft from the second piece of wood , 7.5 - 6.1 = 1.4 ft
Nathan didnt use any of the 3rd piece of wood , so he still have 12 Feet of wood remaining so, 12+4.6+1.4 = 18 feet of wood left that he didnt use.
