Answer:
Each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Carlus cut 5/12 of a yard of cloth into 5 pieces of equal length.
To find the length of each piece of cloth, we need to find the quotient between the length of the piece of cloth, and the number of pieces in which we divide it.
This is:
length =
This means that the length of each piece of cloth is (1/12) of a yard long.

The difference is ...

<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result
__
Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
