Answer: 11/12
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that 7/12 and 1/3 are unlike fractions. Our first step when adding unlike fractions is to get a common denominator.
The common denominator of 12 and 3 will be the least common multiple of 12 and 3 which is 12.
The fraction 7/12 already has a 12 in the denominator so we leave it alone.
To get a 12 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4 and we get the equivalent fraction 4/12.
Now we are adding like fractions.
To add like fractions, we simply add across the numerators.
7/12 + 4/12 = 11/12
Therefore, 7/12 + 1/3 = 11/12.
Answer: D. Chloe did not cut enough fabric because she only cut the amount of extra fabric.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a direction on a sewing pattern say to cut an extra 15% of fabric to account for error and that Chloe needs 0.75 yard of fabric to make a skirt.
Based on the information given in the question, the extra fabric will be:
= 15% × 0.75
= 15/100 × 0.75
= 0.15 × 0.75
= 0.1125
Therefore, the correct amount of fabric to cut will then be the amount of yard needed for the skirt plus the extra. This will be:
= 0.75 + 0.1125
= 0.8625 yards
Based on the above calculation, Chloe did not cut the correct amount of fabric as she only cut the amount of extra fabric.
No because if you skip count by 8 you will not see any 84
