Bumek [7]

Answer:

1. 8.5 yards.

2. $42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Sue buys 5 pieces of fabric. Each piece is $1\frac{7}{10}$ yards long.

1. To find the total length of fabric bought by Sue we will multiply length of each fabric piece by 5.

$\text{Total length of the fabric}=5\times 1\frac{7}{10}\text{ yards}$

$\text{Total length of the fabric}=5\times \frac{17}{10}\text{ yards}$

$\text{Total length of the fabric}=\frac{17}{2}\text{ yards}$

$\text{Total length of the fabric}=8.5\text{ yards}$

Therefore, Sue bought 8.5 yards of fabric.

2. 1 yard of fabric costs $5.

So 8.5 yards of fabric will cost : 5*8.5

$\text{Total cost of the fabric}=5\times 8.5$

$\text{Total cost of the fabric}=42.5$

Therefore, the cost of total fabric bought by Sue is $42.5.
