Answer 1

Answer lovely

Explanation:

Answer 2

The length of the remaining piece of thread is
`(1)/(16).`

Explanation:

Given:

A tailor cuts a piece of thread One-half of an inch long from a piece Nine-sixteenths of an inch long.

Now, to find the length of the remaining piece of thread.

Total thread =
`(9)/(16) \ inch.`

Tailor cuts a piece of thread =
`(1)/(2)\ inch.`

Now, to get the length of the remaining piece of thread by subtracting tailor cuts a piece of thread from the total thread:

`(9)/(16) -(1)/(2) \\\\=(9-8)/(16) \\\\=(1)/(16)`

Therefore, the length of the remaining piece of thread is
`(1)/(16).`
