Question

Roberto must make his costume for his school play. He needs a piece of fabric that is 2 2/3 yards long and 1 1/2 yards wide. What is the piece of fabric Roberto needs?

Answer 1

Answer:

He will need 8.34 yards of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of the fabric, l = 2 2/3 yards = 8/3 yards

The width of the fabric, b = 1 1/2 yards = 3/2 yards

We need to find the piece of fabric Roberto needs. It is equal to the perimeter of the fabric such that,

$P=2(l+b)\\\\P=2(\dfrac{8}{3}+\dfrac{3}{2})\\\\P=2\times \dfrac{25}{6}\\\\P=8.34\ \text{yards}$

So, he will need 8.34 yards of fabric.
