Heidi's hair now is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of a meter long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Length of Heidi's hair = [tex]1\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}\ of\ a\ meter[/tex]
Hair donated = [tex]\frac{5}{6}\ of\ a\ meter[/tex]
As she gave these hair in donation, we will subtract it from the original length to determine the length of remaining hair.
Length of hair after donation = Original length - Hair donated
Length of hair after donation = [tex]\frac{4}{3}-\frac{5}{6}[/tex]
Taking LCM;
Length of hair after donation = [tex]\frac{8-5}{6} = \frac{3}{6}[/tex]
Length of hair after donation = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ of\ a\ meter[/tex]
Heidi's hair now is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of a meter long.
