Maisie cuts 7 4/5 inches from a ribbon that is 10 1/5 inches long. How Many inches remain on the ribbon? (1 point)
To subtract the length that Maisie cut from the original length of the ribbon, we need to perform a subtraction:
10 1/5 inches - 7 4/5 inches = (10 - 7) + (1/5 - 4/5)
= 3 + (-3/5)
= 3 - 3/5
= 2 2/5 inches
Therefore, there are 2 2/5 inches remaining on the ribbon.
