Answer:
6 complete costumes
Step-by-step explanation:
he has 27/2 total fabric
1 costume requires 1 2/4 + 3/4 of fabric, which is 2 1/4
we divide 27/2 by 9/4
27/2 x 4/9 = 6
Here’s what you can do to make this very simple. Consider that the “missing” space between the rectangles isn’t there. Then, find the area:
10 x 9 = 90 mm
Now, find the area of the “missing” part.
5 x 2 = 10 mm
Finally, you deduct the missing part from the complete rectangle!
90 - 10 = 80 mm
The area of this whole thing is 80 mm!
