Answer:
Lindsay used 16/24 yards of fabric and has 5/24 yards left over
Step-by-step explanation:
7/8 - 2/3 = ?
Since both fractions have unlike denominators, we are gonna have to rewrite the fractions so we can subtract. We are gonna find the least common denominators, to be able to subtract.
(7/8 x 3/3) - (2/3 x 8/8) = ?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
:
21/24 (7/8) - 16/24 (2/3) = 5/24
