Manuela has a piece of red ribbon 7 1/2 feet long. She cut the ribbon to have one piece 1 ¾ feet long. How long is the piece of ribbon that is left?

A. 5 ½ feet We can subtract the two whole numbers to give us 6 feet. When we subtract the fractions from each other that gives us 1/2. When we take 1/2 from 6 we get the amount of ribbon left.

B. 6 ¼ feet We can subtract the two whole numbers to give us 6 feet. When we subtract the fractions from each other that gives us ¼. We combine the two numbers and we get the amount of ribbon left.

C. 6 feet We can get the amount of ribbon left by just subtracting the two whole numbers in the problem.

D. 5 ¾ feet. We can subtract the two whole numbers to give us 6 feet. When we subtract the fractions from each other that gives us ¼. When we take ¼ from 6 we get the amount of ribbon left.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

7 - 1

6

[tex] \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

you get negative 0.25

not supposed to subtract because a half is not a whole and three quarter is more than a half

[tex]1 - \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

this is correct (in my opinon)

0.25 as a fraction is

[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

The correct answer option D. [tex]5\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet. We can subtract the two whole numbers to give us 6 feet. When we subtract the fractions from each other that gives us 4. When we take 4 from 6 we get the amount of ribbon left.

Subtract

Difference between two values.

How to solve?

Then the total length is the piece of ribbon that is 6- 1/4 =[tex]5\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
