To answer this question, we just need to subtract the saved cloth from the requested cloth:

\frac{5}{6} - \frac{5}{12}

Since the fractions don't have the same denominator, we have to find the least common denominator.  Luckily, since 6 goes into 12 twice, we can convert \frac{5}{6} into \frac{10}{12}:

\frac{5}{6}( \frac{2}{2}) - \frac{5}{12} = \frac{10}{12} - \frac{5}{12}

Now that the fractions have a common denominator, we can subtract them:

\frac{10}{12} - \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{12}

The difference between the requested cloth and the saved cloth is 5/12 of a foot, or 0.4166'.

How do you determine the square root of a term whose variable(s<br> have exponents greater than 2?
4vir4ik [10]

Basic method is Synthetic Division and Factor Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

For higher-degree equations, the question becomes more complicated than others: cubic and quadratic equations  can be solved by similar formulas.

Hence, to avoid those circumstances we can use Synthetic Division  and Factor theorem to determine the squares of the given polynomial those who have order higher than 2.
