    A carpenter bought a piece of wood that was 43.32 centimeters long. Then she sawed 5.26 centimeters off the end. How long is the piece of wood now?

    When you saw off the end, the length decrease. So we subtract:
    New length = Original length - Sawed piec
    New length = 43.32 - 5.26
    New length = 38.06
