Answered by admin @



Answer:

1\frac{9}{10}\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much more blue fabric than yellow fabric does Marcus need, subtract the quantity of yellow fabric from the quantity of blue fabric

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

3\frac{1}{10}\ m=\frac{3*10+1}{10}=\frac{31}{10}\ m

1\frac{1}{5}\ m=\frac{1*5+1}{5}=\frac{6}{5}\ m

step 2

Subtract the numbers

\frac{31}{10}-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{31}{10}-\frac{12}{10}=\frac{19}{10}\ m

Convert to mixed number

\frac{19}{10}\ m=\frac{10}{10}+\frac{9}{10}=1\frac{9}{10}\ m
