Question

Shobha had 12 1/4 meters of ribbon. She used 2/3 of it to wrap a present and 1/2 of the remaining ribbon on a craft project how many meters of ribbon is left with her.​

Answer 1

Length of ribbon shobha had= 12 1/4= 49/4

Length of ribbon she used to wrap present= 2/3

Length of ribbon used in project= 1/2

Total length of ribbon used= 2/3 + 1/2

=L.C.M of 3,2= 6

2/3= 4/6

1/2= 3/6

= 4/6 + 3/6

= 7/3

Length of ribbon left= 49/4 - 7/3

l.c.m of 4,3= 12

49/4= 147/12

7/3= 28/12

147/12 - 28/12

=135/12

=45/4

Answer= 45/4
