Matthew bought a piece of fabric that was 8.98 meters long. Then he cut 3.07 meters of it off to use in a sewing project. How much fabric is left?
meters
After cutting 3.07 meters of fabric, Matthew is left with
8.98 - 3.07 = <<8.98-3.07=5.91>>5.91 meters of fabric. Answer: \boxed{5.91}.
To find out how much fabric is left, we need to subtract the length that Matthew cut off from the original length of the fabric.
1. Original length of the fabric: 8.98 meters.
2. Length cut off by Matthew: 3.07 meters.
3. Subtract the length cut off from the original length: 8.98 meters - 3.07 meters = 5.91 meters.
So, there is 5.91 meters of fabric left.
To find out how much fabric is left, we will subtract the length that was cut off from the initial length of the fabric.
Initial length of fabric = 8.98 meters
Length cut off = 3.07 meters
To determine how much fabric is left, we subtract the length cut off from the initial length:
8.98 meters - 3.07 meters = 5.91 meters
Therefore, Matthew has 5.91 meters of fabric left.
