Answer:
The length of the remaining piece of thread is 1/16
Explanation:
Given:
A tailor cuts a piece of thread One-half of an inch long from a piece Nine-sixteenths of an inch long.
Now, to find the length of the remaining piece of thread.
Total thread = 9/16
Tailor cuts a piece of thread = 1/2
Now, to get the length of the remaining piece of thread by subtracting tailor cuts a piece of thread from the total thread:
9/16-1/2= 9-8/16 = 1/16
Therefore, the length of the remaining piece of thread is 1/16 :)
