Answer:
[tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Carrie has 2 meters of ribbon. She cuts off pieces of ribbon that are 5/10 meter, 1/10 meter, and 7/10 meter
Lets add all the cut of pieces and subtract it from 2 meters
[tex]\frac{5}{10} +\frac{1}{10}+\frac{7}{10}=\frac{13}{10}[/tex]
Now we subtract 13/10 from 2 meters
[tex]2 - \frac{13}{10}[/tex]
To subtract , make the denominator same
[tex]\frac{2*10}{1*10} - \frac{13}{10}=\frac{20}{10} - \frac{13}{10}=\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
7/10 meter is the remaining piece of ribbon
