To find the total length of the entire string you multiply 8 times 5 and get 40.
To convert into feet multiply by 3 and get 120 feet.
To find the total amount of string he uses, multiply 4 times 5 and get 20. It is already in feet.
Next you subtract 120 - 20 and get 100 feet, the total amount of string he has left.
The answer is .17 if ur doing it in a calculator. if ur doing it by hand u do 4/25, but u cant divide fractions. so, for the second set of numbers u would change it to 16/15. then do 4/25 times 15/16 and u get 64/375, which is equivalent to .17 :)
