Given:
Bolt of fabric = 14 3/8 yards
length of fabric per skirt = 2 1/2 yards

Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions.

14 3/8 ⇒ (14*8)+3/8 = 115/8
2 1/2 ⇒ (2*2)+1/2 = 5/2

115/8 ÷ 5/2 

115/8 * 2/5 = 115*2 / 8*5 = 230 / 40
230/40 = 5.75

5 whole skirt

5/2 * 5 = 25/2 length of fabric used to make 5 skirts.

115/8 - 25/2 = 115/8 - (25/2 * 4/4) = 115/8 - 100/8 = 15/8 length of excess fabric

15/8 = 1 7/8 yards of fabric will be left.

Use the percent bar model to find the missing percent
Ne4ueva [31]

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The missing percent on the bar model is equal to 12.5%.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

On the percent bar model, above the missing percentage, the fraction is given as 1/8.

Now, the given fraction 1/8 in the form of percentage can be written as,

1/8

= 1/8 × 100%

= 0.125 × 100%

= 12.5%

Hence, the missing percent on the bar model is equal to 12.5%.

Whts X+y x 9 +3 +4 ?
babunello [35]

Expression simplified: x+9y+7

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that we have in this problem is:

x+y\cdot 9 +3 +4

The first type of operation that we have to solve in such expression are multiplication/division.

In this expression, there is only one multiplication, that is:

y\cdot 9 = 9y

So we can rewrite the expression as

x+9y+3+4

Now we can evaluate the sum of the similar terms: in this case, similar terms are only 3 and 4, and their sum is

3+4=7

Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as

x+9y+7
