Answer:
2 13/14 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:
5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14
= 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.
Answer:
1010
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a whole class of questions that rely on the method to this one.
First add up what you know
1270 + 1150 + 870 + 1450 = 4740
Now add on the 5th month (which you don't know. Call it x)
4740 + x
Divide by 5
(4740 + x)/5 = 1150 and that is your equation
Solution
Multiply both sides by 5
5*(4740 + x) / 5 = 1150 * 5
4740 + x = 5750
Subtract 4740 from both sides
4740 - 4740 + x = 5750 - 4740
x = 1010
Which seems kind of low, but that's what the numbers come to.
