Answer:

What do I solve for? If it's the length of spool not used, then the answer is

9 11/24 yards of spool.

Explanation:

12 1/8 - 2 2/3=

12 - 2 + 1/8 - 2/3=

10 + (1/8 - 2/3)*24/24 = ==> multiply by 24 to get rid of denominator

10 + (24*1/8 - 24*2/3)/24 =

10 + (24/8 - 48/3)/24 =

10 + (3 - 16)/24 =

10*24/24+ (-13)/24 =

240/24 - 13/24=

(240-13)/24=

227/24=

(216+11)/24=

216/24 + 11/24=

9 + 11/24=9 11/24 yards of spool
