Answer:
[tex]\frac{19}{40}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the meters of cloth that were not use is shown below:
= Used for making a curtain - purchase of curtain cloth
[tex]= \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{8}\\\\= \frac{24 - 5}{40} \\\\= \frac{19}{40}[/tex]
Hence, the meters of cloth that was not used is [tex]\frac{19}{40}[/tex]
