Question

Jade used Fraction 3 over 4 yard of fabric to make a scarf. Can she make 2 of these scarves with Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 yards of fabric, and why? No, because the quotient of Fraction 3 over 4 ÷ Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 is 1 and 7 over 20 No, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 ÷ Fraction 3 over 4 is 1 and 7 over 20 Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 3 over 4 ÷ Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 is 2 and 2 over 5 Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 ÷ Fraction 3 over 4 is 2 and 2 over 5

Answer 1

Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 ÷ Fraction 3 over 4 is 2 and 2 over 5

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 ÷ Fraction 3 over 4 is 2 and 2 over 5

Explanation:

Jade used Fraction 3 over 4 yard of fabric to make a scarf. Can she make 2 of these scarves with Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 yards of fabric, and why?

Representing the above expression Mathematically

3/4 yard = 1 scarf

1 4/5 yards of fabric = x

Cross Multiply

3/4x = 1 4/5 × 1

x = 9/5/ 3/4

x = 9/5 ÷ 3/4

x = 9/5 × 4/3

x = 12/5 scarves

x = 2 2/5 scarves

Hence, the correct option is :

Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 ÷ Fraction 3 over 4 is 2 and 2 over 5
