Amna had 3/4 length of cloth. 1. Convert that length to eighths. 3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8m 2. She gave 1/8 m to Anne, so 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8m 3. Now both have 5/8m of cloth, and we must find how much Anne had to start. 4. final amount - given amount = original amount, so 5/8-1/8 = 4/8 5. This should be simplified, both the denominator and numerator can be divided by 4 so 4/8 simplifies to 1/2m
