On a shelf of length 7 m . mathematics and English books r to be arranged. Mathematics books occupied 4 m. Then
1)find d fraction of shelf left for English books.
(7/7) - (4/7) = ?
To find the fraction of the shelf left for English books, we need to determine the length of the shelf that is not occupied by the mathematics books.
Given that the length of the shelf is 7m and the mathematics books occupy 4m, we can subtract the length of the mathematics books from the total length of the shelf to find the length left for English books.
Length left for English books = Total length of the shelf - Length occupied by mathematics books
Length left for English books = 7m - 4m
Length left for English books = 3m
Now, to express this length as a fraction of the total length of the shelf, we can use the formula:
Fraction = Length left for English books / Total length of the shelf
Fraction = 3m / 7m
Therefore, the fraction of the shelf left for English books is 3/7.
