Answer:

23/40 of the fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure first that each fraction has a common denominator.

Turn 1 1/5 into 6/5

The common denominator of 5/8 and 6/5 would by 40.

Then, turn the bottom numbers into 40 and multiply each number by the same amount as the bottom was multiplied by.

5 × 5 25

------ ------ = ------

8 × 5 40

6 × 8 48

------ ------ = ------

5 × 8 40

Then subtract the top fraction from the bottom fraction.

48 25 23

------ - ------ = ------

40 40 40
