It would probably be 1 and 3/8 yards of string left because if he cut 5/8 yards of the string it would be a subject of subtraction, so if you would subtract that amount from 2 yards, the answer would be 1 and 3/8 yards of string left, hope this helps, good luck

For this case we must subtract:

[tex]2- \frac {5} {8} =\\\frac {8 * 2-5} {8} =\\\frac {16-5} {8} =\\\frac {11} {8}[/tex]

Thus, you have [tex]\frac {11} {8}[/tex]of string, after you have cut[tex]\frac {5} {8}[/tex] of it.

If we convert to a mixed number we have to:

[tex]\frac {11} {8} = 1 \frac {3} {8}[/tex]

Answer:

He has [tex]1 \frac {3} {8}[/tex] of string.
