Answer:

She will have 2 inches of thread left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda uses thread to sew the booklets together, she cuts 6 inches of thread for each booklet.

When she has 50 inches of thread, she will sew $\frac{50}{6}= 8.33$ rounding to 8 booklets.

That means she will use $8\times6=48$ inches of thread.

And she will have left $50-48=2$ inches of thread left.

Yes, she will have 2 inches of thread left.
