Answer:

[tex]5 \frac{7}{24}meters \: of \: cloth \: were \: not \: used.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]9 \frac{1}{8} - \: 3 \frac{5}{6} = \: 9 \frac{3}{24} - 3 \frac{20}{44} [/tex]

Since it cannot be, you need to borrow a whole from 9:

[tex]8 \frac{3}{24} + \: \frac{24}{24} = 8 \frac{27}{24} [/tex]

Then you can proceed to the subtraction:

[tex]8 \frac{27}{24} - \: 3 \frac{20}{24} = 5 \frac{7}{24} [/tex]
