hope it helped

Answer 2

`1(9)/(10)\ m`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out how much more blue fabric than yellow fabric does Marcus need, subtract the quantity of yellow fabric from the quantity of blue fabric

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

`3(1)/(10)\ m=(3*10+1)/(10)=(31)/(10)\ m`

`1(1)/(5)\ m=(1*5+1)/(5)=(6)/(5)\ m`

step 2

Subtract the numbers

`(31)/(10)-(6)/(5)=(31)/(10)-(12)/(10)=(19)/(10)\ m`

Convert to mixed number

`(19)/(10)\ m=(10)/(10)+(9)/(10)=1(9)/(10)\ m`
