To answer this question, we just need to subtract the saved cloth from the requested cloth:
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
into 
:
Now that the fractions have a common denominator, we can subtract them:
The difference between the requested cloth and the saved cloth is 5/12 of a foot, or 0.4166'.
