How many inches of lumber are remaining?

I can't really answer this question because there is no picture of actual question but 1 foot = 12 inches so for instance we could do 6 inches + 3 inches = 9 inches.      

Step-by-step explanation: How we would solve this problem is simple.

6 + 3 = 9  if you have to turn this into a fraction it would be 9/12 = (3/4).

 im assuming you need to know the length of the 7 equal bits of ribbon. the original length of ribbon - the length of ribbon left over = 7x
170.9-16.2=154.7. 154.7/7=x = 22.1
each length of ribbon was 22.1 inches long
