Question

What is the unit price for 3 1/4 yards for $13?

Answer 1

Greetings!


`3 (1)/(4) /3(1)/(4)=1`
Therfore to find the cost for unit, we must divide the cost by:

`3 (1)/(4)`


`=13/3(1)/(4)`
Simplify.

`=(13)/(1) /3(1)/(4)`
Convert mixed number into improper fraction.

`=(13)/(1) /(13)/(4)`
Simplify.

`=(13)/(1)*(4)/(13)`

`=(52)/(13)`
Convert back to mixed number.

`=4`

The unit cost for a yard is $4.

Hope this helps.
