5. Adana made key chains for her friends out of string. She started with 2 feet of red string, 3-teet of
yellow string, and 5-feet of green string If Adana used a total of 8 3 feet of string on the key chains,
how much string remains unused?

Adana made key chains for her friends out of string. She started with 2 1/6 feet of red string, 3 1/4 of yellow string, and 5 1/2 feet of green string. If Adana used a total of 8 2/3 feed of string on the key chains, How much string remains unused.

It would be 2 1/4 because you convert all the factions denominators to 12. 2 1/6 becomes 2 2/12, 3 1/4 becomes 3 3/12, 5 1/2 becomes 5 6/12, and 6 2/3 becomes 8 8/12. add 2 2/12, 3 3/12, and 5 6/12 and you get 10 11/12 and then you subtract 10 11/12 and 8 8/12 (10 11/12 - 8 8/12) and get 2 3/12. when you get that answer, convert it by 3 and you get 2 1/4.

I hope this was helpful.
