Question

Claire bought 9/10 of a yard of fabric to make her granddaughter a dress. She only used 3/4 of the fabric. How many yards of fabric did Claire use?

Answer 1

23/ 40 (0.57) yards of fabric

Explanation:

Claire bought 9/10 of a yard of fabric to make her granddaughter a dress. She only used 3/4 of the fabric.

9/ 10 x 3 /4

9/10 x 3/4 = 27/ 40

1 - 27/40 = 40 -27 /40

Therefore, 23/ 40 (0.57) yards of fabric is used by Claire.
