Given: Yu, Nailah, and Elena each bought between 7 and 9 yards of ribbon Yu bought 3 pieces of ribbon. Nailah bought 5 pieces of ribbon. Elena bought 6 pieces of ribbon.
To find: Who can buy which ribbon
Solution:
Ribbon Sizes
1 2/3 = 5/3 yard
4/5 yard
3 1/2 = 7/2 Yard
Yu, Nailah, and Elena each bought between 7 and 9 yards of ribbon
Yu bought 3 pieces of ribbon
=> 3 * 5/3 = 5
3 * 4/5 = 2.4
3 * 7/2 = 10.5
Nailah bought 5 pieces of ribbon
=> 5 * 5/3 = 8.33
5 * 4/5 = 4
5 * 7 /2 = 17.5
Elena bought 6 pieces of ribbon
=> 6 * 5/3 = 10
6 * 4/5 = 4.8
6 * 7 /2 = 21
Only value between 7 & 9 is 5 * 5/3 = 8.33
hence Nailah only can buy 1 2/3 = 5/3 yard ribbon
or there is some mistake in the data
Answer:
$8.40
Step-by-step explanation:
8.6 plus 8.2 is 16.8 so they had a total of 16.8 ounces. $0.50 per ounce so you need to multiply 16.8 by 0.50 which is 8.40. you can also do 8.6(0.5) plus 8.2(0.5)= 4.3 plus 4.1 = 8.4
