Leah is creating satin bows for a wedding. From a 15-meter-long ribbon, she first cuts a piece 3 4/9 meters long. Then she cuts a piece 6 5/9 meters long from the remaining ribbon. How much ribbon does Leah have left?

A.) -12 meters

B.) -5 meters

C.) 5 meters

D.) 12 meters

C.) 5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

From a 15-meter-long ribbon, she first cuts a piece 3 4/9 meters long. Then she cuts a piece 6 5/9 meters long from the remaining ribbon.

Step 1

3 4/9 meters + 6 5/9 meters

Least Common Denominator = 9

(3+ 6) + [ 4/9 + 5/9)

9 + [4 + 5/9]

9 + [9/9]

9 + 1

= 10 meters

This means, the total number of ribbons cut is 10 meters

The amount of ribbon Leah has left =

Initial length of ribbon - Amount of ribbon cut

= 15 meters - 10 meters

= 5 meters

Hence, Leah has 5 meters long of ribbon left
