Question

The shaded part of the diagram shows what tina had left from a yard of fabric.she now use 1/3 yard yard of fabric for one project and 1/6 yard for a second project.how much of the original yard of fabric does tina have left after the two project.

Answer 1

Answer: Left over yard after the two projects is $\frac{1}{2}\ yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of yard of fabric for one project is given by

$\frac{1}{3}$

Number of yard of fabric for second project is given by

$\frac{1}{6}$

Total number of yards of first and second project is given by

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}\\\\=\frac{2+1}{6}\\\\=\frac{3}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}\ yards$

Number of original of fabric Tina have left after the two project is given by

$1-\frac{1}{2}\\\\=\frac{2-1}{2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}\ yards$

Hence, Left over yard after the two projects is $\frac{1}{2}\ yards$
