Sam have 1 1/5 meters of rope he cut off 1/2 meters and use it for a project for school how much real does Sam have left
Answer is 7/10
First you find the common denominator which is 10 from doing 52.
Then you do 12 to get 2 and then also 5*1 to get 5.
Now you have 5/10 - 2/10 = 3/10.
Then you combine the whole and fraction parts and get..
1 - 3/10 = 7/10
( 10-3=7)
