Corrected question;

Francine has a piece of wood that is five 5/12 feet long she uses three 1/4 feet of the wood from a science project how much for just Francine have left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Francine has a piece of wood that is five 5/12 feet long.

Total amount of wood T = 5 × 5/12 ft = 25/12 ft

she uses three 1/4 feet of the wood from a science project.

Amount of wood Used U = 3 × 1/4 = 3/4 ft

The amount of wood left equals the total amount of wood minus the amount of wood used;

The amount of wood left L = T - U = 25/12 - 3/4

L = 25/12 - 9/12

L = 16/12

L = 4/3 ft
