Answer 1

Answer: 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Whenever you have something OF  something, you just mulltiply.

1/3 of  5/8=  

1/3x5/8

5/24

She used 5/24, and started with 5/8

5/8-5/24= 5/12  left

Answer 2

$\textsf {Finding the LCM of the 2 quantities :}$

$\implies \mathsf {3 \times 8}$

$\implies \mathsf {LCM = 24}$

$\textsf {Now, take the given quantites with our LCM as the denominator}\\\textsf {and subtract used value from the total :}$

$\implies \mathsf {\frac{5}{8} - \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{8}}$

$\implies \mathsf {\frac{15}{24} - \frac{5}{24}}$

$\implies \mathsf {\frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12}}$

$\textsf {Therefore, Miranda will have}$  $\mathsf {\frac{5}{12}}$ $\textsf {of the ribbon left. }$
