Question

Anita is making a curtain to surround a table. she bought 3 1/4 yards of fabric. her total cpst was 13$. what was the cost per yard

Answer 1

Hey there!!

Total length of the fabric bought = 3 1/4 yards

First, let's convert this mixed fraction to improper fraction

3 1/4 = 13/4

The total cost for 13/4 yards = $13

Find cost per yard

Let's take the cost per yard as ' x '

Then, 13/4 yards = 13x / 4

Let's get this into an equation -

13x/4 = 13

Multiply by 4 on both sides

13x = 52

Divide by 13 on both sides

x = 52 / 13

x = 4

The cost per yard = $4

Hope my answer helps!
