Final answer:

Carleigh initially has 2 yards of fabric and uses 1/4 of it for a hat, which equals 0.5 yards. After making the hat, she is left with 1.5 yards of fabric. Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Carleigh has 2 yards of fabric to start with. If she uses 1/4 of the fabric to make a hat, we need to calculate what 1/4 of 2 yards is. To find the amount of fabric used, multiply 2 yards by 1/4:

2 yards × 1/4 = 0.5 yards

So, Carleigh used 0.5 yards to make the hat. Now we subtract this amount from the original 2 yards to find out how much fabric she has left:

2 yards - 0.5 yards = 1.5 yards

Therefore, Carleigh has 1.5 yards of fabric remaining after making the hat, which corresponds to option (a).
