Question

you have 3/4 yard of felt for a project and you use 1/8 yard. What fraction of a yard of felt do you have left over?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(5)/(8)` yard.

Explanation:

You have the following information given in the problem:

- You have 3/4 yard of felt.

- You used 1/8 yard,

Therefore, to find the fraction of a yard of felt that you have left over (which you can call x), you only need to subtract 3/4yard and 1/8 yard, as you can see below:

`x=(3)/(4)yard-(1)/(8)yard\\\\x=(5)/(8)yard`
