Now, Laura has [tex]9\frac{1}{6}[/tex] yard of ribbon
Further Explanation
Given:
Laura bought [tex]8\frac{3}{10}[/tex] yard of ribbon
She used [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] yard to tie a package
She used [tex]2\frac{1}{3}[/tex] to make a bow
Joe gave her [tex]4\frac{3}{5}[/tex] yard
Question:
How much ribbon does she have now?
In the right order it would be:
[tex]\boxed {= 8\frac{3}{10} - 1\frac{2}{5} - 2\frac{1}{3} + 4\frac{3}{5} }[/tex]
but we are going to grouping them for ease:
[tex]\boxed {= 8\frac{3}{10} + 4\frac{3}{5} - 1\frac{2}{5} + 2\frac{1}{3} }\\\boxed {= 8\frac{3}{10} + 3\frac{1}{5} + 2\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]
they have different denominator, so we are going to find the common denominator for 10, 5 and 3 which is 30
[tex]\boxed {= 8\frac{9}{30} + 3\frac{6}{30} - 2\frac{10}{30} }\\ \boxed {= 9\frac{5}{30} }\\ \boxed {= 9\frac{1}{6} }[/tex]
So, Laura has [tex]9\frac{1}{6}[/tex] yard of ribbon now.
