2 1/6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem bothers on subtraction of fraction
Given data
Total length of rope 3 1/2 feet
Let's convert mixed fraction to proper fraction = 7/2ft
First piece of rope = 1 1/3ft
= 4/3ft
Hence the second piece of the rope is = 7/2-4/3= 21-8/6= 13/6
Second piece = 2 1/6 ft
