Rodrigo has a cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack that is 36 inches long. If he eats 7.2 inches of the snack, and then gives 4.25 inches to sergio, how many inches will be left?

Cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack left is 24.55 inches

Solution:

Total length of the cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack is 36 inches

Part of the cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack eaten by Rodrigo is 7.2 inches

Part of the cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack given to the Sergio is 4.25 inches

part left of cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack = Total - (Part of the cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack eaten by Rodrigo + Part of the cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack eaten by Rodrigo)

Total = 36 - (7.2 + 4.25) inches

= 36 - 11.45 inches = 24.55 inches

Cherry Fruit-by-the-foot snack left is 24.55 inches
