Question

Elise bought a new roll of tape. There were 8.1 yards of tape on the roll. Then Elise used 7.3 yards of the tape to make a collage. How much tape is left on the roll?

Answer 1

To find out how much tape is left on the roll after Elise used some, you can simply subtract the amount of tape she used from the total amount that was on the roll.

Initially, there were 8.1 yards of tape, and Elise used 7.3 yards.

So, the calculation is:

8.1 yards - 7.3 yards = 0.8 yards

Therefore, there is 0.8 yards of tape left on the roll.
