Answer 1

Answer:

The total yards of cloth needed for the flags = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jake and his dad are making (6,12,18) different types of flags.

Each flag takes $(\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{6})$ of a yard of cloth.

To find the total yards of cloth needed in all.

Solution:

Flag A :

Each flag requires = $\frac{2}{3}$ of a yard of cloth

Total number of this flag = 6

Total cloth required for this flag = $\frac{2}{3}\times 6 = 4\ yd$

Flag B:

Each flag requires = $\frac{3}{4}$ of a yard of cloth

Total number of this flag = 12

Total cloth required for this flag = $\frac{3}{4}\times 12 = 9\ yd$

Flag C:

Each flag requires = $\frac{5}{6}$ of a yard of cloth

Total number of this flag = 18

Total cloth required for this flag = $\frac{5}{6}\times 18 = 15\ yd$

Thus, total yards of cloth needed for the flags = $4\ yd+9\ yd+15\ yd =28\ yd$
