Answer: There is \(5\frac{7}{8}\ in.\) left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of ribbon Ramona had is given by
\(8\frac{3}{8}=\frac{67}{8}\ in.\)
Length of ribbon she used for a project is given by
\(2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\ in.\)
Number of inches of ribbon left is given by
\(\frac{67}{8}-\frac{5}{2}\\\\=\frac{67-20}{8}\\\\=\frac{47}{8}\ in\\\\=5\frac{7}{8}\ in.\)
Hence, there is \(5\frac{7}{8}\ in.\) left.
