11/56 inches or 0.196 inches must be removed.
The pipe measures 4/7 inches but needs to be reduced to 3/8 inches.
In order to find out the inches to be removed, you must subtract the length that the pipe should be from the length that it currently is.
<em>Length to be removed = 4/7 - 3/8</em>
You need a common denominator so find the lowest common factor of both denominators:
= 56
In the shared fraction, multiply the numerator by the number you get when you divide 56 by the denominator.
= 56/7 = 8 8 x 4 = 32
= 56 / 8 = 7 7 x 3 = 21
= (32 - 21) / 56
= 11 / 56 inches
= 0.196 inches
In conclusion, 11/56 inches must be removed to get the pipe to 3/8 inches
