Answer:

She needs 4 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply fractions, you just multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction.

<em>The numerator is the top number of a fraction.</em>

<em>The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction.</em>

You can think of the whole number 6 as the fraction 6/1.

Multiply 6/1 by 2/3

6x2=12

1x3=3

So, 6/1x2/3=<u>12/3</u>

<u></u>

Now you need to simplify the fraction

Because the numerator is a muliple (number that can be devided by) of 3, devide the numerator by the denominator.

12÷3=4

Answer:

$2x^2+7x+6=0\\\\2(x^2+\frac72x+3)=0\\\\2[x^2+2\cdot x\cdot\frac74+(\frac74)^2-(\frac74)^2+3]=0\\\\2[x^2+2\cdot x\cdot\frac74+(\frac74)^2]-2(\frac74)^2+6=0 \\\\2(x+\frac74)^2-2\cdot\frac{49}{16}+6=0\\\\2(x+\frac74)^2-\frac{49}8+\frac{48}8=0\\\\2(x+\frac74)^2-\frac18=0$
