Susanna found a roll of fabric she wanted to use to make a pillow. The roll had 3/4 of a yard of fabric left. Susanna needed 5/7 of the remaining fabric. Which fraction represents how much fabric Susanna needed?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{15}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Susanna found a roll of fabric left = 3/4 of a yard

Susanna needed = 5/7 of the remaining fabric.

Question asked:

Which fraction represents how much fabric Susanna needed?

Solution:

To know the fraction that represents how much fabric Susanna is needed, we will simply multiply :-

The roll had  fabric left = $\frac{3}{4}\ of\ a \ yard$

Susanna needed = $\frac{5}{7}\ of\ remaining\ fabric$

                             $=\frac{5}{7} \ of \frac{3}{4} \\\\ =\frac{5}{7} \times\frac{3}{4} \\\\ =\frac{15}{28}$

Thus, Susana needed $\frac{15}{28}$ of a yard fabric.
