Answer:
Orange ribbon Zoe use is [tex]1\frac{3}{4} \ feet.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Zoe had 3 1 /8 feet of orange ribbon. She used some ribbon to make a bow for a gift now she has 1 3 /8 feet of orange ribbon left.
Now, to find the orange ribbon Zoe use.
Let the orange ribbon Zoe use be [tex]x.[/tex]
Total orange ribbon Zoe had = [tex]3\frac{1}{8} = \frac{25}{8} \ feet.[/tex]
Ribbon Zoe had left = [tex]1\frac{3}{8} =\frac{11}{8} \ feet.[/tex]
Now, to get the orange ribbon Zoe use:
[tex]\frac{25}{8} -x=\frac{11}{8}[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by [tex]\frac{11}{8}[/tex] we get:
[tex]\frac{25}{8} -x-\frac{11}{8} =0[/tex]
Adding both sides by [tex]x[/tex] we get:
[tex]\frac{25}{8} -\frac{11}{8} =x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{25-11}{8} =x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{14}{8}=x[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{14}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{7}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=1\frac{3}{4}\ feet.[/tex]
Therefore, orange ribbon Zoe use is [tex]1\frac{3}{4} \ feet.[/tex]
