Trisha needs 41/2 yards of fabric to do a project. If she already has2/3 of a yard of fabric, what is the minimum amount of fabric she must buy to be able to complete her project?
we know that 4 1/2----------> (4*2+1)/2--------> 9/2 (2/3)*(9/2)------> 18/6--------->3 yd (this is what Trisha has ) if she has (2/3) she only needs (1/3) [the minimum amount of fabric she must buy]=(9/2)*(1/3)=1.5 yd
the answer is the minimum amount of fabric she must buy is 1.5 yd
