Answer 3

it isn't 2/3 but 2/3 OF the 3.5

first make 3 1/2 into improper fraction \[\huge 3 \frac 12 \implies \frac 72\]

Answer 5

ye i know tht part

Answer 6

oh yes.

Answer 7

didn't see that

Answer 8

\[\huge 3 \frac 12 - \frac 23 (3\frac 12)\]

that would be the right formula

Answer 9

3 1/2-14/5?

Answer 10

so you should have \[\huge \frac 72 - \frac 23 (\frac 72)\]

so that's \[\huge \frac 72 - \frac {14}6\]

then

\[\huge \frac{21}6 - \frac{14}6\]

Answer 11

lol whoops

Answer 12

that should result to 1 1/6

Answer 13

but the thing is wut made is to different from being a regualr subtraction problem

Answer 14

that would be the one that confused me too..the line "he uses 2/3 of the fabric"

so you have to get 2/3 of the fabric first before subtracting
