Question

Holly is making a quilt for her sister with two different fabrics. She needs 3/7 of a yard of a patterned fabric and 2/7 of a yard of a solid colored fabric. How many yards of fabric does she need total?

Answer 1

5/7

Explanation:

To find out how many yards of fabric Holly needs in total, you can simply add the amounts of each type of fabric she needs:

3/7 yard (patterned fabric) + 2/7 yard (solid colored fabric) = 5/7 yard

Holly needs a total of 5/7 yard of fabric in all.

Answer 2

5/7 yards

Explanation:

To find the total amount of fabric Holly needs, we need to add the amount of patterned fabric and the amount of solid colored fabric she needs.

Total fabric = patterned fabric + solid colored fabric

Total fabric = 3/7 yards + 2/7 yards

Total fabric = 5/7 yards

Therefore, Holly needs a total of 5/7 yards of fabric.
