    The answer is 12.5 inches.

    Given that the jewelry maker has a 20 inch gold chain, if she used 3/8 of this amount = (3/8) x 20

    = 7.5

    This means that she has used 7.5 inches of the gold chain.

    To find out how many inches she has left, the formula = the total amount - the amount used.

    =20 - 7.5

    = 12.5

    Therefore, the length of the gold chain left is 12.5 inches.
