Question

Carla bought a piece of ribbon that measured 1 meter in length. She used 1/4 of the ribbon on a gift box. She used 1/8 of the ribbon to make a bow. What fraction of the ribbon was left?

Answer 1

1/4 is equal to 2/8.

2/8+1/8=3/8

Carla used 3/8 of the ribbon in all. So, 5/8 of the ribbon is left.

I hope this helps :)
