Answer:

2\frac{3}{14} yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 4 1/2 yards of cloth are needed to make a woman’s dress. 2 2/7 yards of cloth are needed to make a girl’s dress.

To find the yards of more cloth needed to make a woman’s dress than a girl’s dress, we will subtract cloth needed for girl's dress from the cloth needed for woman's dress.

4\frac{1}{2}-2\frac{2}{7}

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction:

4\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{4\times 2+1}{2}=\frac{8+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}

2\frac{2}{7}\Rightarrow \frac{2\times 7+2}{7}=\frac{14+2}{7}=\frac{16}{7}

4\frac{1}{2}-2\frac{2}{7}=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{16}{7}

Make a common denominator:

\frac{9*7}{2*7}-\frac{16*2}{7*2}

\frac{63}{14}-\frac{32}{14}

\frac{63-32}{14}

\frac{31}{14}

2\frac{3}{14}

Therefore, 2\frac{3}{14} yards more cloth is needed to make a woman’s dress than a girl’s dress.

Write the standard form of the equation of line through (3, -1) with a slope of -1.
kirill115 [55]

The standard form of a line: Ax+By=C.

The point-slope form: y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We have the point (3, -1) and the slope m = -1. Substitute:

y-(-1)=-1(x-3)

y+1=-x+3                    <em>add x to both sides</em>

x+y+1=3             <em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>

\boxed{x+y=2}
