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)6
To solve this problem, we need to subtract the length of the cut from the original length of the ribbon.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
10 1/5 = 51/5
7 4/5 = 39/5
Next, subtract the length of the cut from the original length:
51/5 - 39/5 = 12/5
Finally, let's convert the result back to a mixed number:
12/5 = 2 2/5
Therefore, there are 2 2/5 inches remaining on the ribbon.
