The measure of ribbons that Constanza had after using the eight sixths would be 2 meters.
How to find the ribbon length left ?
Constanza bought a ribbon that measured 3 and 1/3 meters, which can be written as an improper fraction:
= 3 + 1/3
= 10/3 meters
She used 8/6 of the ribbon which is:
= (8/6) ÷ (2/2)
= 4/3
Calculate how much ribbon she had left:
Remaining Ribbon = Total Ribbon - Used Ribbon
Remaining Ribbon = (10/3) meters - (4/3) meters
Remaining Ribbon = (10/3 - 4/3) meters
Remaining Ribbon = (6/3) meters
Now, simplify 6/3:
Remaining Ribbon = 2 meters
