Question

119. It takes 2 yd of fabric to make a costume for a school play. How much fabric would be
needed for seven costumes?

Answer 1

Hello!

if you use 2 3/8 yards of fabric to make a costume, and need 7 costumes, multiply the amount of fabric needed by the amount of costumes needed

2 3/8 * 7 = 14 21/8

then simplify the fraction

21/8 = 2 5/8

add it to the whole number

14 + 2 5/8 = 16 5/8

you need 16 5/8 yards of fabric to make 7 dresses

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
