Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find how much canvas is left, subtract the amount cut ($\frac{8}{36}$ yards) from the total amount ($\frac{24}{36}$ yards). This gives $\frac{24}{36} - \frac{8}{36} = \frac{16}{36}$ yards. Simplifying $\frac{16}{36}$ by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, 4, gives $\frac{4}{9}$ yards.

Solve -Bill Has 2436\frac{24}{36}3624​ Yards of Canvas from Which He Is Cutting Strips
