Final answer:
Bev uses one-quarter of her 3/8 meters of fabric, leaving her with 9/32 meters of fabric.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bev has 3/8 meters of fabric and uses one-quarter of this fabric. To calculate the amount of fabric left, we should determine what one-quarter of 3/8 meters is. To find one-quarter of 3/8, we multiply 3/8 by 1/4, which gives:
(3/8) * (1/4) = 3/32 meters
This is the amount of fabric Bev uses to mend the dress. To find out how much fabric she has left, subtract the amount used from the total amount she originally had:
3/8 meters - 3/32 meters = 9/32 meters
Therefore, Bev has 9/32 meters of fabric remaining after mending the dress.
