Dakota had a kite with 25 6/12 string.The kite got stuck in a tree.she lost 4 3/12 feet of string trying to free it.how much string does Dakota still have?

Answer 1

25 6/12 = 306/12is the total feet of a string
4 3/12 =51/12 feet got lost
To get a remaining part subtract the lost part from the total string
306/12-48/12=255/12
=21 1/4
Therefore the remaining part of a string is 21 1/4 feet
