A tailor hard 6/ 1/4 m of an embroidery thread to decorate a fabric she used to2/ 1/2 m of thread to decorate the age of the fabric she used a quarter of the remaining thread to make a flower find the remaining peace

Answer 1

To find the remaining piece of the embroidery thread, we will need to subtract the thread used from the initial length of the thread.

Initial thread length = 6 1/4 m

Thread used = 2 1/2 m

Remaining thread = Initial thread length - Thread used

To subtract mixed fractions, we need to have a common denominator.

6 1/4 = (4*6 + 1)/4 = 25/4

2 1/2 = (2*2 + 1)/2 = 5/2

Remaining thread = 25/4 - 5/2

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator.

The least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4, so we can combine the fractions as follows:

Remaining thread = (25/4) - (10/4)

Remaining thread = 15/4

Therefore, the remaining piece of embroidery thread is 15/4 meters.
