Question

Charlie Carr has a sheet of brass that is 33 inches wide and cuts two pieces that are each 8

Answer 1

Answer: The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to add the width of the pieces cut.  

Mathematically speaking:

8 in +8 in = 16 in

Now, we have to subtract that result to the width of the sheet of brass.

33 in -16 in = 17 in

The width of the leftover brass is 17 inches.
