Answer:

The total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .

Explanation:

As given

Sue buys 5 pieces of fabric.

$Each\ piece\ is\ 1 (7)/(10)\ yards\ long.$

i.e

$Each\ piece\ is\ (17)/(10)\ yards\ long.$

$Total\ length\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = (5* 17)/(10)\ yards$

$Total\ length\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = (85)/(10)\ yards$

In the decimal form

Total length of fabric sue buys = 8.5 yards

As given

One yard of the fabric costs $5

$Total\ cost\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = 8.5* 5$

= $ 42.5

Therefore the total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .
