Answer:
She will have left with 2 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Miss English Marshall has 42 yards of ribbon to make wreaths.
Each wreath requires 8 yards of ribbon.
Now, to find the yards she have left.
Number of yards of ribbon = 42 yards.
Number of yards requires for each wreath = 8 yards.
So, to get the yards she left:
Number of yards of ribbon ÷ Number of yards requires for each wreath
[tex]42\div 8[/tex]
[tex]=5\frac{2}{8}[/tex] .
As, by dividing 42 by 8, 2 is the remainder left.
Thus, 40 yards of ribbon is used in making 5 wreaths. And 2 yards of ribbon will be left.
Therefore, she will have left with 2 yards.
