Question

Gina has 5 2/8 feet of silver ribbon and 3 6/8 of gold ribbon. How much more silver ribbon does Gina have than gold ribbon.

Answer 1

Answer: we are simply to subtract the length of the gold ribbon which is 2 4/6 ft from the length of the silver ribbon, 5 2/6 feet. Mathematically,

5 2/6 feet - 2 4/6 feet = 8/3 feet

Therefore, Gina has 8/3 feet more of the silver ribbon than the golden ribbon.
