Question

Katherine has 5 4/5 yards of red silk fabric. Steve uses 1 1/3 yards of it. How many yards of red silk fabric are remaining?

Answer 1

4 7/15

Explanation:

5 4/5 - 1 1/3 = 4 7/15

you have to change 5 4/5 to 5 12/15, and 1 1/3 to 1 5/15

then you subract 1 5/15 from 5 12/15 to get 4 7/15
