Question

Karen had 2 spools of wire. Each spool had 15 7/8 yards of wire. Karen used 3 yards of wire from each spool. How many yards of wire were left of the spools?

Answer 1

You would have 25 6/8 yards of wire left, because she took 3 yards from each spool. So that gives us 2 spools of 12 7/8 and when you add them you get 25 6/8
