Answer:
The person should pay <u>2 3/16</u> dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise how to multiply a mixed number by a proper fraction
Change the mixed number to improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and ad the the product to the numerator and put the sum over the denominator.
Multiply the two numerators and multiply the two denominators.
One yard of a rubber coat costs 3 1/2 dollars.
We need to find the cost of 5/8 yards.
- Multiply the cost of 1 yard by 5/8
3 1/2=7/2
The cost = 7/2×5/8=35/16
Change the improper fraction to a mixed number
35/16=2 3/16
∴ The cost =2 3/16 dollars
