asked on
2 1/3 - 5/3 = 7/3 - 5/3 = ____
To find out how much cloth remained, we need to subtract the amount of cloth Ann used for the dress from the total amount of cloth she had.
Ann had 2 1/3 meters of cloth, which can be written as a mixed number: 2 + 1/3 = 2 1/3.
The dress used 5/3 meter of cloth.
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 3.
So, 2 1/3 is equivalent to (6/3 + 1/3) = 7/3.
Subtracting 5/3 from 7/3 gives us: 7/3 - 5/3 = 2/3.
Therefore, Ann has 2/3 meter of cloth remaining.
