Two splice plates are cut from a piece of sheet steel that has an overall length of 19 3/8 in. The plates are 9 1/4 in. and 6 15/16 in. long. How much material remains from the original piece if each saw cut removes 1/16 in.?

A fraction is a non-integer that consists of a numerator and a denominator. A mixed fraction is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator.

Material left = initial length - length of the first plate - length of the second plate - (2 x 1/16)

[tex]19\frac{3}{8} - 9\frac{1}{4} - 6\frac{15}{16} - \frac{2}{16}[/tex]

[tex]4\frac{6 - 4 - 15 - 2}{16}[/tex]

4[tex]\frac{-15}{16}[/tex]= 3 1/16 inches
