Question

A costume designer needs to make 12 costumes for the school play. Each costume requires 2 2/3 yards of fabric. How many yards of fabric does the designer need to make all the costumes?

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of fabric the designer needs to make 12 costumes = 32 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of fabric required for each costume = $2\frac{2}{3}\ yards$

Total number of costumes to be made =12

Total length of fabric required for all the costumes = $12\times 2\frac{2}{3}$

We can multiply mixed numbers by converting it to fractions.

$12\times 2\frac{2}{3}$

⇒$12\times \frac{8}{3}$

⇒32 yards

Length of fabric the designer needs to make 12 costumes = 32 yards
