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.
<h3>Step 1</h3>
Multiply 6/1 by 2/3
6x2=12
1x3=3
So, 6/1x2/3=<u>12/3</u>
<u></u>
<h3>Step 2</h3>
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
