\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thank you so much\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First add up all the moulding that he has used.
\n" ); document.write( "7.5 + 2.75 +7.5 = 17.75 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, subtract this amount from the total length of the moulding, which is 20 feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20-17.75 = 2.25 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, Darren has 2.25 feet left over.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope that gives you direction.
