Answer:
The fraction of the original strip left is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that,
A strip of paper is cut in [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. So, the strip of paper left is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
Now, again the remaining part is cut in half. The part left will be [tex]\frac{1/2}{2}[/tex] i.e. [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].
Finally, the remaining part is again cut in half.
We get, the final part of the paper remaining is [tex]\frac{1/4}{2}[/tex] i.e. [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex].
So, the fraction of the original strip left is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex].
