What operation to be used in the problem?

Subraction

Solution:

[tex]9 \frac{1}{8} - 3 \frac{5}{6} = n[/tex]

[tex]9 \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{3}{3} = 9 \frac{ 3 }{24} = 8 \frac{24}{24} + \frac{3}{24} \\ = 8 \frac{27}{24} [/tex]

[tex]3 \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{4}{4} = 3 \frac{20}{24} [/tex]

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

Final Answer:

5 7/24 meters of cloth were not used.
