Answer:
3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Fabric left over = total fabric purchased - total fabric used to make a tote bag
total fabric used to make a tote bag = [tex]4\frac{2}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] =
[tex]\frac{34}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{34}{40}[/tex]
fabric left over = 1 - 34/40
40 / 40 - 34/40 = 6 /40
To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2
3/20
