Question

Mrs. King has 3 3/4 yards of fabric she uses 1 7/8 yards to create a blanket and 1/2 yard to make a pillow.how much fabric does mrs.king have left?

Answer 1

• Total number of fabric  Mrs. King has =  $3\frac{3}{4} yards$

• Number of yards of fabric used for a blanket = $1\frac{7}{8} yards$

• Number of yards of fabric used to make a pillow = $\frac{1}{2} yards$

• To find the number of yards of fabrics Mrs. King has left, we apply the operations of Addition and Subtraction

• Step 1 : Addition Operation

Total number of fabrics used by Mrs. King = Fabric used for blanket + Fabric used for pillow

$1\frac{7}{8} yards + \frac{1}{2} yards$

= $2\frac{3}{8} yards$

• Step 2 : Subtraction Operation

Total number of yards of fabric left = Total number of fabrics - Total number of fabrics used

$3\frac{3}{4} yards - 2\frac{3}{8} yards$

=  $1\frac{3}{8} yards$
