The total length of two ribbons is 13 meters. If one ribbion is 7 5/8 meters long what is the length of the other ribbon

Perhaps the easiest way to solve this problem is to convert 13 into a fraction that has the same denominator as 7 5/8.

Convert both to improper fractions:

7 5/8 turns into 61/8, and

13 turns into 104/8.

Then, subtract 61/8 from 104/8:

104/8-61/8=43/8.

Simplify (mixed fraction):

5 3/8.

The second ribbon has a length of 5 3/8 meters.

That length is the Answer is gonna be 61/8 = 8/61 times 1/13
