Solution:
Given that,
Thomas has 7 1/5 meters of fencing
He used 4 3/5 meters of fencing to surround his yard
To find: fencing does he have left
From given,
[tex]Total\ length\ of\ fencing = 7\frac{1}{5} = \frac{36}{5}\ meters[/tex]
[tex]Used\ fencing = 4\frac{3}{5} = \frac{23}{5}\ meter[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]Fencing\ left = total\ length\ of\ fencing - used\ fencing\\\\Fencing\ left = \frac{36}{5} - \frac{23}{5}\\\\Fencing\ left = \frac{13}{5} = 2.6\ meter[/tex]
Thus, 2.6 meter of fencing is left
