4 1/2 + 3 3/4 = 4 2/4 + 3 3/4 = 7 5/4 = 8 1/4...what he needs for A and B
He used 12 inches of cable...
12 - 8 1/4 = 11 4/4 - 8 1/4 = 3 3/4....length left after A and B are made
he doesn't have enough to make the last one...
5 1/8 - 3 3/4 = 41/8 - 15/4 = 41/8 - 30/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8....he is short by 1 3/8 inches

Answer: 15/32
Step-by-step explanation:
The data that we have is:
5/8 of the vegetable sold where green.
of theses 5/8, 3/4 were string beans.
Then the 3/4 is applied to the 5/8 of green vegetables.
Then the fraction (of the total number of vegetables) that were string beans was:
F = (3/4)*(5/8) = (3*5)/(4*8) = 15/32
