Question

Robert's dad is making a desk. The materials cost $5.30 per yard. What is the cost to purchase 6/3/5 yards of material?

Answer 1

To find the cost of purchasing 6/3/5 yards of material at $5.30 per yard, multiply 6/3/5 by $5.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost to purchase 6/3/5 yards of material, we need to multiply the number of yards by the cost per yard. In this case, the cost per yard is $5.30.

So, to find the total cost, we multiply 6/3/5 by $5.30:
6/3/5 * $5.30 = (6/3/5) * (5.30)
= 6/3/5 * 5.30/1
= (6 * 5.30) / (3 * 1/5) = 31.80 / (3/5)

When we divide 31.80 by 3/5, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
31.80 / (3/5) = 31.80 * (5/3)
= (31.80 * 5) / 3
= 159 / 3 = $53.
