Question

Alan bought 20 yards of fencing. He used 5.9 yards to surround one flower garden and 10.3 yards to surround another garden. Write the amount remaining as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

you would add 10.3 and 5.9 which would equal 16.2, and subtract that from 20 and change that decimal into a fraction, which would be 19/50
