Answer:

1 1/4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets convert the fractions to decimals so it will be easier to divide. We need to divide to know how many leftover pieces of wood are there. 11.25 (11 1/4) divide by 2.5 (2 1/2) is 4 with the reminder of 1.25. So there are 4 (2 1/2 ft) wood pieces and 1 1/4 ft leftover piece of wood.
