To find out how many inches remain on the ribbon, we need to subtract the length that was cut from the original length of the ribbon.
Original length of ribbon = 10 1/5 inches
Cut length = 7 4/5 inches
To subtract the lengths, we need to convert both fractions to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 1/5 and 4/5 is 5.
10 1/5 inches = 10 + (1/5 * 5) = 10 + 1 = 11 inches
7 4/5 inches = 7 + (4/5 * 5) = 7 + 4 = 11 inches
Now, we can subtract the cut length from the original length to find the remaining length:
Remaining length = Original length - Cut length
Remaining length = 11 inches - 11 inches
Remaining length = 0 inches
Therefore, 0 inches remain on the ribbon.
