Question

Janelle buys 12.3 meters of fabric she uses 4.5 meters to make a dress she uses half of the remaining fabric to make a skirt how many meters if fabric does she use to make the skirt

Answer 1

3.9 meters.

Explanation:

Given,

The original length of fabric = 12.3 meters,

The length of fabric that is used to make a dress = 4.5 meters,

The remaining fabric = Original fabric - Used fabric = 12.3 - 4.5 = 7.8 meters,

Now, the fabric she used for skirt = half of the remaining fabric

`=(1)/(2)* 7.8`

`=(7.8)/(2)`

`=3.9\text{ meters}`
