The tablecloth is 67.5 inches longer than the table.

The question asks how much longer the tablecloth is than the table.

To answer this, we need to find the difference in length between the two.

The table is 80%2 inches long, which means it is 80 inches long.

The tablecloth is 100%/8 inches long, which means it is 12.5 inches long.

To find the difference, we subtract the length of the table from the length of the tablecloth: 12.5 inches - 80 inches = -67.5 inches.
