Answer:

Orange ribbon Zoe use is  1\frac{3}{4} \ feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Zoe had 3 1 /8 feet of orange ribbon. She used some ribbon to make a bow for a gift now she has 1 3 /8 feet of orange ribbon left.

Now, to find the orange ribbon Zoe use.

Let the orange ribbon Zoe use be x.

Total orange ribbon Zoe had = 3\frac{1}{8} = \frac{25}{8} \ feet.

Ribbon Zoe had left = 1\frac{3}{8} =\frac{11}{8} \ feet.

Now, to get the orange ribbon Zoe use:

\frac{25}{8} -x=\frac{11}{8}

<em>Subtracting both sides by </em>\frac{11}{8}<em> we get:</em>

\frac{25}{8} -x-\frac{11}{8} =0

<em>Adding both sides by </em>x<em> we get:</em>

\frac{25}{8} -\frac{11}{8} =x

\frac{25-11}{8} =x

\frac{14}{8}=x

x=\frac{14}{8}

x=\frac{7}{4}

x=1\frac{3}{4}\ feet.

Therefore, orange ribbon Zoe use is 1\frac{3}{4} \ feet.
