Question

tricia had 4 1/8 yards of fabric to make curtains.When she finished she had 2 3/8 yards of frabric left .She said she used 2 2/8 yards of fabric for the curtains.do you agree?explain

Answer 1

Okay. Let's start with the easy bit.
4 1/8 is 33/8
2 3/8 is 19/8.
So 33/8 - 19/8 = 14/8. Simplify and we get 1 6/8, or 1 3/4. This is the amount of fabric used, so I don't agree with what she said.
