Answer 2

i think you're missing some info? the molding for the window would be 65 1/8 - x, where x is the amount for the ceiling...do we know how much is needed for the ceiling?

Answer 3

Answer 5

ok so 65 1/8 - 39 1/4. first, you wanna convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions

Answer 6

once they're improper fractions, make it so they have the same denominator. then you can subtract them
