Respuesta :

Answer:

3.9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original length of fabric = 12.3 meters,

The length of fabric that is used to make a dress = 4.5 meters,

The remaining fabric = Original fabric - Used fabric = 12.3 - 4.5 = 7.8 meters,

Now, the fabric she used for skirt = half of the remaining fabric

[tex]=\frac{1}{2}\times 7.8[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{7.8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=3.9\text{ meters}[/tex]
