Question

a 2 1/2m board is to be used for making shelves,each using up 5/6m of board. Does he have enough board left to make another shelf requiring 4/5m? explain

Answer 1

I dont think so because if you multiply 2 1/2 by 5/6 you would get 2 1/12 which means that you can make the first shelf but you would need to subtract 2 1/2 minus 2 1/12 and you would get 5/12. And 5/12 is not the same as 4/5

Hope this helps!!!     Name me brainliest please!
