Answer: he has 65/20 meters of string left

Step-by-step explanation:

Montel bought a spool of string for making kites. It contained 10 3/20 meters of string. Let us first convert this length of string to improper fraction, it becomes 203/20 meters

He used 6 9/10 meters of string for kites. Changing 6 9/10 to improper fraction, it becomes 69/10 meters

To determine how many meters of string that Montel have left, we will subtract the length of string used from the total length of string. It becomes

203/20 - 69/10 = 203 - 138/20 = 65/20 meters of string left
