Marcus will have [tex]1\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet as left-over.
It is important we understand that foot refers to single unit of measurement while feet is the plural of foot.
Marcus needs to tie two bows for birthday gifts and he has an 8-foot roll of ribbon.
• He uses 3 3/8 (27/8 as a fraction) feet of ribbon for Crystal's gift.
• He uses 2 3/4 (11/4 as a fraction) feet for Tim's gift.
The left-over computation is as follows:
= [tex]8 - \frac{27}{8} - \frac{11}4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{256-108-88}{32}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{60}{32}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex] or [tex]1\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet
Marcus will have [tex]1\frac{7}{8}[/tex] feet as left-over.
