The directions on a sewing pattern say to buy an extra 12.5% of fabric to account for error. Sam needs 2.75 yards of fabric to m
1 answer:
Answer:
Sam should have bought 3.09 yards of fabric instead of 2.4 yards
So, Option D is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total fabric needed by Sam = 2.75
According to directions on a sewing pattern they say to buy an extra 12.5%
So, extra fabric would be: 12.5% of 2.75
Solving
Now adding 0.343 into 2.75 to get extra fabric quantity:
2.75+0.343
=3.09
Therefore Sam should have bought 3.09 yards of fabric instead of 2.4 yards
So, Option D is correct.

First, we must find the common denominator (12) ✵
10/12-6/12 ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵
Now, why 10? ✵ ✵ ✵
Because we CAN'T just take the denominator and change it; we must change both the denominator AND the numerator:
✵ • - ○
4/12 ✧ ✩ ✶ ✺ ✱
We can simplify, or reduce, this fraction: ✱ ✱

Excuse my awful triangle drawing skills, haha..
So essentially you need to find the perimeter which is done by adding the lengths of the sides.. this gives you 22ft.
Then for part b you need to convert 22ft to yards which gives you 7.3 yards.
Since you can only buy a whole number of yards, you'll actually need 8 yards.
So if the boarder is $8.75 per yard, and you need 8 yards, how much would it cost?
