Answer 1

Answer:

3 1/2 metres means 3×1/2=3/2 metres

2 1/4 metres means 2×1/4=1/2 metres

3/2+1/2=4/2=2 metres

so ribbon left=10-2=8 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

First add the two pieces together
So,
3 1/2+2 1/4
=7/2+9/4
=14/4+9/4
=23/4
Then subtract
So,
10-23/4
=10/1-23/4
=40/4-23/4
=17/4
=4 1/4
