    Rewriting the question, the given lengths that were cut from the board were 30 3/4 inches, 12 1/4 inches, and 16 1/4 inches. To obtain the remaining length of the board, all of the measurements cut are to be added and subtracted from 72 inches. This is shown below:

    30 3/4 + 12 1/4 + 16 1/4 = 237/4 = 59.25 inches.

    Remaining length of board = 72 - 59.25 = 12.75 inches.

    Therefore, there will be 12.75 inches remaining of the board.
