Question

Andi needs 5 1/2 yards of fabric for a project. She has a piece that is 3 1/4 at school and a piece that is 1 1/2 yards at home. How much more fabric does she need?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4} Yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

Andi needs $5\frac{1}{2}$ yards of fabric for a project.

$\text{At School, she has: } 3\frac{1}{4} yards\\\text{At Home, she has: } 1\frac{1}{2} yards\\\text{Length of Fabric already owned by Andi= } 3\frac{1}{4} +1\frac{1}{2}\\=4+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\\=4\frac{3}{4}\\\text{Therefore, the Length of Fabric needed by Andi= } 5\frac{1}{2}-4\frac{3}{4}\\=\frac{3}{4} Yards$

Andi needs $\frac{3}{4} Yards$ more of Fabric.
