Question

2 1 11 __ ft of fabric is needed to make pants, while 4 1 6 _ ft of fabric is required to make a rug. How much more fabric is needed to make a rug versus pants?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.07 feet more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Amount needed to make pants = $2\dfrac{1}{11}=\dfrac{23}{11}\ \text{feet}$

Amount needed to make rug = $4\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{25}{6}\ \text{feet}$

We need to find how much more fabric is needed to make a rug versus pants. It can be solved as follows :

$x=\dfrac{25}{6}-\dfrac{23}{11}\\\\x=2.07\ \text{feet}$

So, 2.07 feet more fabric is needed to make a rug versus pants.
