Question

The shaded part of the diagram shows what tina had left from a yard of fabric.she now use 1/3 yard yard of fabric for one project and 1/6 yard for a second project.how much of the original yard of fabric does tina have left after the two project.

Answer 1

Answer: Left over yard after the two projects is
`(1)/(2)\ yards`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of yard of fabric for one project is given by

`(1)/(3)`

Number of yard of fabric for second project is given by

`(1)/(6)`

Total number of yards of first and second project is given by

`(1)/(3)+(1)/(6)\\\\=(2+1)/(6)\\\\=(3)/(6)\\\\=(1)/(2)\ yards`

Number of original of fabric Tina have left after the two project is given by

`1-(1)/(2)\\\\=(2-1)/(2)\\\\=(1)/(2)\ yards`

Hence, Left over yard after the two projects is
`(1)/(2)\ yards`
