Question

It takes seven-eighths yard of fabric to make a particular apron. How much fabric is required to make four aprons?

3 1/2 yards of fabric
1/4 yard of fabric
1 1/5 yards of fabric

Answer 1

Answer: 3 1/2 yards of fabric

Explanation:

(7/8) x 4 is 28/8 which simplifies to 7/2 which is essentially 3 and 1/2 yards of fabric.

Answer 2

If it takes \( \frac{7}{8} \) yard of fabric to make one apron, to find how much fabric is needed for four aprons, you'd multiply \( \frac{7}{8} \) by 4. That would be \( \frac{7}{8} \times 4 = \frac{28}{8} = 3.5 \) yards of fabric for four aprons. Therefore, 3 1/2 yards of fabric would be required.
