Question

Mrs. Gomez is sewing a dress for each of her four daughters. Each dress uses 2.25 yards of fabric, and the fabric costs $4.15 per yard. What will be the cost for fabric for all four dresses? Label your answer.

Answer 1

Add the number of yard and the cost of the fabric and then multiply that by 4.

Answer 2

if it is 2.25 yards per dress, and 4.15 a yard, multiply 2.25 by 4.15 and you get 9.3375 or just 9.34. if there are 4 girls, multiply 9.34 by 4 and you get $39.76
