Answer 1

The self-employed seamstress bought 2 yards more material than needed to make 7 jackets.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether the self-employed seamstress bought enough material, we need to compare the amount of material she bought to the amount needed. According to the given information, it takes 7 yards of material to make 3 jackets. So, to make 7 jackets, the seamstress would need (7/3) * 7 = 49/3 yards of material.

The seamstress bought 15 yards of material. To find out if this is enough, we compare it to the amount needed. 15 yards of material is greater than 49/3 yards of material. Therefore, the seamstress did buy enough material.

The answer is Yes, you bought 2 yards more than you need.
