Based on the data provided, the fraction of fabric leftover, f is 1/4.

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a given part of a whole quantity.

Fractions are composed of two parts; a numerator and a denominator

The fabric Mindy has is divided into 8 equal-size pieces.

She uses half of the fabric for project A.

Half of the fabric = 4/8

She uses half of the fabric for project A.

Half of the fabric = 4/8

She uses one-quarters of the fabric for project B.

One-quarters of the fabric = 2/8

Fraction of fabric leftover, f = 2/8 = 1/4

An equation that will represent the fraction of fabric leftover, f, is given below:

  • [tex]f = 1 - \frac{4}{8} + \frac{2}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the fraction of fabric leftover, f = 1/4
