Aziz purchesis 4 2/8 feet of fabric he used 1/5 of fabric to make a tote bag how much fabric will aziz have left over?

Sagot :

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Fabric left over = total fabric purchased - total fabric used to make a tote bag

total fabric used to make a tote bag = [tex]4\frac{2}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] =

[tex]\frac{34}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{34}{40}[/tex]

fabric left over = 1 - 34/40

40 / 40 - 34/40  = 6 /40

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2

3/20
