Question

Mary is making pillows for her life skills class. she bought 2 1/2 yards of fabric. her total cost was 15 what was the cost per yard

Answer 1

IT would be 6 because the guy above me explained it well.

Answer 2

cost divided by length of fabric

convert to impropert fractions

2 and 1/2=2+1/2=4/2+1/2=5/2


cost/length=
`(15)/((5)/(2))`
times the whole thing by
`\frac{{2}{5}}{(2)/(5)}`
we get

`((30)/(5))/((10)/(10))=`

`(6)/(1)=6`

cost was $6 per yard
