Answer 1

1 1/16

Explanation:

Jaden had 2 7/16 yards of ribbon. He used 1 3/8 yards of ribbon to make a prize ribbon.

2 7/16 - 1 3/8

39/16 - 11/8

39/16 - 22/16

(39-22)/16

17/16

He has 1 1/16 of ribbon left.

Answer 2

15/16

Explanation:

2 7/16 = 39/16

1 3/8 = 12/8 = 24/16

(39-24)/16 = 15/16
