Final answer:

The tablecloth is 67.5 inches longer than the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how much longer the tablecloth is than the table.

To answer this, we need to find the difference in length between the two.

The table is 80%2 inches long, which means it is 80 inches long.

The tablecloth is 100%/8 inches long, which means it is 12.5 inches long.

To find the difference, we subtract the length of the table from the length of the tablecloth: 12.5 inches - 80 inches = -67.5 inches.
