Answer: [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] yard.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the following information given in the problem:
- You have 3/4 yard of felt.
- You used 1/8 yard,
Therefore, to find the fraction of a yard of felt that you have left over (which you can call x), you only need to subtract 3/4yard and 1/8 yard, as you can see below:
[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}yard-\frac{1}{8}yard\\\\x=\frac{5}{8}yard[/tex]
