The length of the remaining rope is 41.5 inches.
A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.
For the given situation,
Harold cut 18 and a half inches off a rope that was 60 inches long.
Let the remaining length of the rope be x.
This can be written as,
⇒ [tex]x=60-18.5[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=41.5[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the length of the remaining rope is 41.5 inches.
