aisie 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 find out how many inches remain on the ribbon, we need to subtract the length that was cut from the original length of the ribbon.
Original length of ribbon = 10 1/5 inches
Cut length = 7 4/5 inches
To subtract the lengths, we need to convert both fractions to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 1/5 and 4/5 is 5.
10 1/5 inches = 10 + (1/5 * 5) = 10 + 1 = 11 inches
7 4/5 inches = 7 + (4/5 * 5) = 7 + 4 = 11 inches
Now, we can subtract the cut length from the original length to find the remaining length:
Remaining length = Original length - Cut length
Remaining length = 11 inches - 11 inches
Remaining length = 0 inches
Therefore, 0 inches remain on the ribbon.
