Solutions:

Given: 3/5 m - amount of cloth bought for curtain making

           1/8 m - amount of cloth used to make the curtain for the living room

Express the given fractions in similar fractions using their least common denominator.

5 - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50

8 - 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80

Choose the common multiple of 5 and 8.

40

Therefore, the least common denominator of 5 and 8 is 40.

Using the leas common denominator 40, change 3/5 and 1/8 into similar fractions.

3/5 = (8)(3)/40 = 24/40

1/8 = (5)(1)/40 = 5/40

Subtract 5/40 from 24/40.

24/40 - 5/40 = 19/40

Therefore, there are 19/40 m of curtain cloth that were not used.
