There is 39/8 yards ditch which left to dig
Given that,
Jamal has to create a ditch that is 15 1/2 yards long. He first excavates 7 3/8 yards, then excavates another 3 1/4 yards.
To find: How much more of the ditch is left to dig ?
Firstly,
Total ditch that he has to dig = 15 1/2 yards = 31/2 yards
Secondly,
Total ditch that he already dug = 7 3/8 yards in morning and 3 1/4 after lunch
Total is 7 3/8 + 3 1/4 yards = 59/8 + 13/4 = 59+26/8 = 85/8 yards
The equation is so simple ,
Ditch that is yet to dig = (Total ditch that he has to dig) - (Total ditch that he already dug)
= 31/2 yards - 85/8 yards
= 124-85/8 yards
= 39/8 yards
Hence, There is 39/8 yards ditch which left to dig
