Answer:
5.75

6x5/8=3 3/4=3.75
8.5-3.75= 4.75
The hairdresser will leave with 4.75 yards of the hair bow.
To subtract in mathematics is to take something away from a group or a number of objects.
In other meaning, subtraction is a mathematical operation such that two values are going to subtract and give a resultant value.
The group's total number of items decreases or becomes lower when we subtract from it.
Length of total ribbon ⇒
8 and 1 half = 8 + 1/2 = 17/2
Length of ribbon is going to be used ⇒
Length of 1 hair bow = 5/8 yards
So,
For 6 bow = 6(5/8) = 30/8 yards
So,
Remaining ribbon = Total ribbon - Used ribbon
Remaining ribbon = 17/2 - 30/8
Remaining ribbon = 38/8 = 4.75 yards.
Hence "The hairdresser will leave with 4.75 yards of the hair bow".
