You don't technically need the ( ) around the 2n, but I included them to avoid confusion.
Answer:
Your answer would be A. Did they not provide a calculator?
If Sheila started with 8 yards of fabric and used 2 1/4 yards, she will have the difference of these two values remaining. Subtract 2 1/4 from 8.
Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. (Multiply its denominator by the whole number and replace the numerator with this new number.)
2 1/4 = 9/4
We now have:
8/1 - 9/4
Multiply 8/1 by 4/4 to get common denominators.
8/1 × 4/4 = 32/4
Now subtract.
32/4 - 9/4 = 23/4 = 5.75
Alternatively, we could have converted the fraction 2 1/4 to decimal form and subtracted it from 8.
2 1/4 = 2.25
8 - 2.25 = 5.75
Answer:
Sheila has 5.75 yards of fabric left.
½ means 1 divided by 2. ... You can divide the top and bottom of the fraction by 3 to get 1/2 . With fractions, you are allowed to multiply or divide the top and bottom of the fraction by some number, as long as you multiply (or divide) everything on the top and everything on the bottom by that number.
