1. **State the problem:** A warehouse has 52 feet of rope. A worker cuts 118 inches for one order and 9 feet 7 inches for another. How many inches of rope remain? 2. **Convert all measurements to the same unit (inches):** - Total rope: $52$ feet $= 52 \times 12 = 624$ inches - First cut: $118$ inches (already in inches) - Second cut: $9$ feet $7$ inches $= 9 \times 12 + 7 = 108 + 7 = 115$ inches 3. **Calculate total cut length:** $$118 + 115 = 233 \text{ inches}$$ 4. **Calculate remaining rope:** $$624 - 233 = 391 \text{ inches}$$ 5. **Answer:** The rope remaining is **391 inches**.
