Alder cut three pieces of fabric from a roll. Each piece of fabric she cut is 1 and 1/2 yards long. She has 2 yards of fabric left on the roll. How much fabric was on the roll before she cut it?

Extra helpful: if you could answer the question in this format:
e.g. 8t = 4/5
(if you could write this problem mathematically in the format above, it would be extra helpful)

x - 3× 1.5 = 2
therefore x = 6.5

Here, the number of cut = 3
Total fabric = 1 1/2 * 3 + 2
= 3/2 * 3 + 2
= 9/2 + 2
= 13/2

In short, Your Answer would be 13/2 or 6 1/2 or 6.5

Hope this helps!
