Question

At the fabric store, Marisela spends $9.00 on 1 1/8 yards of fabric. How much does one yard of fabric cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the yards to decimals, 1/8 is equivalent to .125, therefore 1 1/8 yards is 1.125

Next, since we know that 1 1/8 yards of fabric is $9, we can divide 9 by 1.125 in order to find the cost of one yard of fabric

9/1.125=8, therefore your final answer is $8

Don't forget to put units if this is a test question (or practically in any case), the unit in this case is $(dollars)
