To find out how much fabric Shani has left, we need to subtract the amount of fabric she used for both sewing projects from the total length of the fabric she had.
She used 12 ft. for one sewing project and 134 ft. for another project, for a total of 12 + 134 = 146 ft.
To find the amount of fabric she has left, we subtract 146 ft. from the total length of fabric she had, which is 223 ft.
223 ft - 146 ft = 77 ft.
Therefore, Shani has 77 ft. of fabric left.

To find out how much fabric Shani has left, we need to subtract the amount of fabric she used for both sewing projects from the total length of the fabric she had.
She used 1/2 ft. for one sewing project and 1 3/4 ft. for another project, for a total of 1/2 + 1 3/4 = 2 1/4 ft.
To find the amount of fabric she has left, we subtract 2 1/4 ft. from the total length of fabric she had, which is 2 2/3 ft.
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12.
2 2/3 = 8/3
2 1/4 = 9/4
8/3 - 9/4 = 32/12 - 27/12 = 5/12
Therefore, Shani has 5/12 ft. of fabric left.

To find out how much of the budget is left for decorations and snacks, we need to subtract the portions of the budget used for the DJ and chaperones from the total budget.
The budget used for the DJ is 35% and the budget used for chaperones is 14%.
To find the remaining budget, we subtract the sum of these two percentages from 100%.
100% - 35% - 14% = 100% - 49% = 51%
Therefore, the remaining budget for decorations and snacks is 51% of the total budget.
