Question

Aziz purchesis 4 2/8 feet of fabric he used 1/5 of fabric to make a tote bag how much fabric will aziz have left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Fabric left over = total fabric purchased - total fabric used to make a tote bag

total fabric used to make a tote bag = $4\frac{2}{8}$ × $\frac{1}{5}$ =

$\frac{34}{8}$ × $\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{34}{40}$

fabric left over = 1 - 34/40

40 / 40 - 34/40  = 6 /40

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2

3/20
