To solve this problem, we need to subtract the length of the cut from the original length of the ribbon.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
10 1/5 = 51/5
7 4/5 = 39/5
Next, subtract the length of the cut from the original length:
51/5 - 39/5 = 12/5
Finally, let's convert the result back to a mixed number:
12/5 = 2 2/5
Therefore, there are 2 2/5 inches remaining on the ribbon.
