Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

  \dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad-bc}{bd}

AnswThe Tasty Beans Coffee House being planned for the corner of SE 12th and Main will ruin a perfectly nice neighborhood. Besides the fact that Tasty Beans already has coffee shops all over the city, it will pull business away from local coffee houses that have been here for decades. In addition, there is already a parking problem on that street, and the new business will just add to the congestion. They're planning a drive-up window, too, and that will mean a steady stream of traffic in a very high-volume area. Ask anyone walking down the street, and they'll tell you this is a bad idea. I speak for my whole neighborhood when I say, "Go away, Tasty Beans!"er:

The perimeter of parallelogram ABCD is 46 inches. What is DA?
nadezda [96]
First we have 8x -5=3x+10, so x =3.
Hence AB =CD =19.
So 38+DA +BC =46, but DA =BC,
38+2DA=46, then 2DA =8,
DA =4.
