Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the total fabric as an integer = 1
Ellen divides a piece of fabric into 8 equal sections by drawing chalk lines.
= 1/8, hence each section = 1/8
Then she cuts off 5 of the sections to make into placemats.
This is written as: 5 sections × 1/8 = 5/8
The fraction of the fabric that is left is calculated as:
1 - 5/8
Lowest Common Denominator = 8
Hence: 8 - 5/8 = 3/8
The fraction of the fabric that is left is 3/8
Example 0.777777
x = 0.77
10(x = 0.77) ----(10 because it is repeating by the tenth digit. if repeating by 2 digits like 0.2828, you'll multiply by 100)
10x = 7.77
-(x = 0.77)
9x = 7.00
x = 7/9
