The correct question is:
Jane buys 7/3 yards of fabric to make a cat bed. She starts the project by cutting 4 feet of fabric off the end. How many feet long is the remaining piece of fabric?
Answer:
There are 3 feet remaining.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jane cuts 4 feet from 7/3 yards, to know how many feet long yard is remaining, first we need to know how many feet make a yard, convert 7/3 yards to feet, and find the difference between the feet cut and the total feet available.
3 feet = 1 yard
x feet = 7/3 yards
3 × 7/3 = x × 1
x = 7
Therefore, 7 feet is 7/3 yards.
Now, she cuts 4 feet, do we have
(7 - 4 = 3) feet remaining.
Therefore, there are 3 feet remaining.
