Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it will help you and answer is right

Answer 2

Total = 8 4/5

Used = 3 7/8 + 2 1/3 + 1 3/4

So total used  = $6\frac{21 + 8 + 18}{24}$

                       = $6\frac{47}{24}$

                       = $7\frac{23}{24}$

Therefore amount remaining is :

8 4/5 - 7 23/24

= $1\frac{96 - 115}{120}$

= $\frac{(120+96) - 115}{120}$

= $\frac{101}{120}$ yards of fabric remaining
