Olivia wants to cut off 3 3/4inches from a piece of string. She has already cut off 2 9/16 inches from the piece of string. How much more string should she cut off?

1 3/16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

3 3/4 = (3+12) / 4

2 9/16 = ( 9+ 32) / 16

15 / 4 - 41/ 16 make the denominators equal

15 × 4 / 4×4 - 41/ 16

= 60/16 - 41/16

= 19/16 convert it to Fractional number

= 16 + 3 / 16 = 1 3/16

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point

3
