The total length of two ribbons is 13 meters if one ribbon is 7 5/8 meters long,what is the length of the other ribbon ?
13 = 12 8/8
minus 7 5/8
equals 5 3/8
Convert both to fractions.
7 * 8 + 5 = 61/8
13 * 8 = 104/8
Subtract both fractions
104/8 - 61/8 = 43/8
Convert 43/8 to mixed number
43 / 8 = 5 3/8
13 = 12 8/8
12 8/8 - 7 5/8 = ?
