Question

Meghan has 5 1/4 yards of fabric. She plans to use 2/3 of the fabric to make 4 identical backpacks. To find how much fabric she will use to make the backpacks, Meghan multiplies 5 1/4 by 2/3. What else does meghan need to do to find out how much fabric she needs for each backpack?

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

Megan also needs to divide what 5 1/4 x 2/3 equals by 4.

$5\frac{1}{4} x \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{21}{4} x \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{42}{12} = 3\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{\frac{42}{12} }{4}$

Do keep, change, flip (kcf)

$\frac{42}{12} x \frac{4}{1} = \frac{168}{12} = 14$
