Jen has 6 yards of fabric and wants to make a new dress and shorts she used 3 1/3 yards of the fabric on her new dress how much

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

$2\frac{2}{3}\ yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much fabric Jen has left for the shorts, subtract the yards of fabric used in her new dress from the total yards of fabric Jen has.

$6-3\frac{1}{3}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$3\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3*3+1}{3}=\frac{10}{3}$

substitute

$6-3\frac{1}{3}=6-\frac{10}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ yards$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{8}{3}\ yards=\frac{6}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}\ yards$

What is the answer to -3/4 (2)(-6) in fraction form

nasty-shy [4]

I'm assuming the question looks like this?

$\frac{-3}{4} (2)(-6)$

If so then the answer should be:

$\frac{-3}{4} (2)(-6)=\frac{-3}{4} (-12)=9$

Hope this helps!
