Problema Solution
Sandy is working with a carpenter to frame a house . They are using 8-foot long boards,but each board must be cut to be 94.6 long .How much is cut off board?

I'm assuming that by 94.6 long you mean 94.6 inches long.
First we need to convert feet to inches.
Since 1 foot = 12 inches then
8 ft = 8*12 in
8 ft = 96 ft
Now we subtract 94.6 from 96 and we get the solution:
96 - 84.6 = 1.4 in
1.4 inches is cut off of each 8 foot long board.
