lance bought 2 meters of wire in the hardware. He used ⅞ meter for the fence. How long was left​?​

Sagot :

Answer:

1 ⅛ meters

How?

The question will be written to this expression as:

  • 2 - ⅞

Fist thing to do in subtracting a whole number by a fraction is:

  • Turn the whole number to a fraction so: 2 = 2/1
  • Then cross multiply them:

[tex]2 - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{2}{1} - \frac{7}{8} \ \\ \\ = \frac{(2 \times 8) - (7 \times 1)}{1 \times 8} = \frac{16 - 7}{8} \\ \\ = \frac{9}{8} \: or \: 1 \frac{1}{8} [/tex]

Above is how I subtract the givens

So hence that the answer is 1 ⅛ meters of wire is left

I HOPE THIS HELPS
