Question

A hat requires one and one fourth yards of fabric how much fabric would be needed to make 8 hats​

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

1 1/4 * 8

I don't know how your class is showing you how to figure this out, but I am going to do it the way I was taught. I hope this makes sense.

1 1/4

I am going to convert this mixed number into a improper fraction.

5/4

Now our equation is going to look like this.

5/4 * 8

Turn the 8 to an improper fraction:

8/1

5/4 *8/1 just multiply across.

5*8 =40

4*1 = 4

40/4

Can 4 go into 40? Yes!! 4 can go into 40, 10 times.

So your answer would be 10

I hope this is right... I am super sorry if it's not.
