Hello There!

Priya has a piece of string which is 5/6 yard long. She cuts 3/5 of string for a project. What is the length of the string she has left?

Left is a key word for subtract.

The equation is 5/6 - 3/5 = ?

Solving

The LCD ( Least Common Denominator ) is 30

5 x 5 3 x 6
--------------- - -------------
6 x 5 5 x 6

25 18 7
-------- - -------- = -------
30 30 30
[ The denominator stays the same]

So, 5/6 - 3/5 = 7/30

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

$w\geq 14$

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

$2l+2w\geq 40$

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

$2\times 6+2w\geq 40$

now, we can solve for w

$12+2w\geq 40$

subtract both sides by 12

$12+2w-12\geq 40-12$

$2w\geq 28$

divide both sides by 2

and we get

$w\geq 14$

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
