Answer 1

Write out the information given

Josh has

`(7)/(8)\text{yards of fabric}`

Josh needs 3 times the fabric he has to complete his project

Hence

Josh will need

`\begin{gathered} 3*(7)/(8)\text{ yards of fabric for his project } \\ \\ (3*7)/(8)=(21)/(8)=2(5)/(8)\text{yards of fabric} \end{gathered}`

Hence Josh will require 2(5/8) yards of fabric to complete his craft

The first option (A ) is correct
