Alicia used 1/4 yard of the Blue Diamonds fabric and 2/4 yard of the Yellow Bonnets fabric to make the quilt.
* “Alicia measured 1/4 yard of the Blue Diamonds fabric and 1/2 yard of the Yellow Bonnets fabric to make a quilt. Rename each length of fabric to have a common denominator.”
To rename the lengths of fabric to have a common denominator, you need to find the least common multiple of the denominators 4 and 2. The least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4.
Here's how you can rename the lengths of fabric:
* Blue Diamonds fabric: 1/4 yard x 1/1 = 1/4 yard
* Yellow Bonnets fabric: 1/2 yard x 2/2 = 2/4 yard
Therefore, Alicia used 1/4 yard of the Blue Diamonds fabric and 2/4 yard of the Yellow Bonnets fabric to make the quilt.
