Ziva bought 6 ⅘ balls of thread for a sweater, but she only ended up using 8 6/12 balls. What fraction of the thread did Ziva use?

Is this how we solve it?

8 6/12 by - 6 4/5 = A

Hope this helps

i think that's how we are supposed to do the problem can someone do a walk through for me with variables so i can find it on my own i just need help. I was trying to find a tutor cause I'm confused. But is that how were supposed to do it cause tutor.com isn't working.

Most likely we have to simplify and then subtract it? I hope that's how you solve it!

nvm i think i got it
