Maverick has a 12 three fourths foot-long streamer to decorate a hallway at his school he cuts off 3/8 of a foot from each end to make it fit the hallway his principal asked him to make another shimmering that is 5/6as long how long is the new streamer
So we have to subtract from the original length: (12 three fourths foot) - (3/8 of a foot) - (3/8 of a foot) - (5/6 foot) = (12 3/4) - 3/8 - 3/8 - 5/6 = (48/4 + 3/4) - 6/8 - 5/6 = 51/4 - 3/4 - 5/6 = 48/4 - 5/6 = 12 - 5/6 = 72/6 - 5/6 = 67/6 that is the new streammer length 67/6 foot or 11 1/6 foot
