Katya cut part of the jump rope off to make it shorter. The new length is 8 and StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction feet. The difference between the original length and the new length is StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction foot. The equation x minus 8 and StartFraction 1 over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction can be used to represent this problem, where x is the original length of the rope. What was the original length of the rope?

7 and one-thirdfeet
8 and two-thirdsfeet
9 feet
10 feet
