Could someone help me answer this question I've been stuck on it a while now.
John has a ball of string. The total length of the string in the ball is 4( 7/8 )meters.
John cuts a length from the ball which is 2(1/4) meters. What fraction of the ball of string did John cut off? (give your answer in its simplest form.)
so far I have changed the 1/4 in 2 (1/4) to 2/8 to make both fractions have the same denominator.
