Question

Amanda cut a piece of wood that was 10/12 of a yard long. She used 3/4 of the wood how many yards of wood were left over

Answer 1

The wood is 10/12 yard long.

She used 3/4 of the wood:

`(3)/(4) * (10)/(12)`


`(3)/(4) * (2 * 5)/(3 * 4)`


`(3)/(8) \text { yard}`

Calculate yards left:


`(10)/(12) - (3)/(8)`


`= (20)/(24) - (9)/(24)`


`= (11)/(24) \text { yard left}`
