1 answer:
Answer:
1 5/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
It can work out well to subtract integer portions and fractional portions, then combine the results.
(9 1/4) -(7 5/8) = 9 + 1/4 - 7 - 5/8
= (9 -7) +(1/4 -5/8)
= 2 + (2/8 -5/8)
= 2 -3/8
= 1 5/8
The piece of Myles' shoestring that broke off is 1 5/8 inches long.
