Question

Can someone help me with this problem?!??

Answer 1

Answer:

See below and attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a rectangle.

Divide it in half.

Divide each part in half again.

Lastly, divide each part again in half.

This will give a total of 8 sections.

Project a uses 1/2 of the fabric. This means it will use 4 out of the 8 pieces.

Project b uses 1/4 of the fabric. This means it will use 2 out of 8 pieces.

So the fabric that is left is 1 - 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4.

You can find the amount left for any number of yards of fabric by taking f(x) = x/8 - 3/4
