Answer 1

Given:

Mr. Cumme has 8 3/4 yards of material for her class.

he needs to use 1/3 of the material to make an example.

To find the number of yards of material that he will need, we will multiply 1/3 by 8 3/4 to get the answer.

`(1)/(3)*8(3)/(4)=(1)/(3)*(35)/(4)=(35)/(12)=2(11)/(12)`

So, the answer will be 2 11/12 yards.
