Louis bought 10 yd of material. He used 3 7/8 to make a jacket. How much fabric is still left?

Answer 1

We will subtract the amount of material used from the amount bought:

10/1 - 3 7/8 = Write these as mixed numbers

10/1 - 31/8 = Multiple 10/1 by 8 to have the same denominator

80/8 - 31/8 = 49/8 Covert this to a mixed fraction

6 1/8
