Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Instructions for a craft project say that the length of a piece of a red ribbon should be 7 1/8 inches less than the length of a piece of blue ribbon. Converting 7 1/8 inches to improper fraction, it becomes
57/8 inches.
The red ribbon is 14 3/4 inches long. Converting 14 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes
59/4 inches. Therefore, the length of the blue ribbon is
59/4 - 57/8 = (118 - 57)/8
= 61/8 = 7 5/8 inches
