Question

Kate also wanted to make a scarf. She needed 2 pieces of gold yarn and each piece had to be 3/4 meter. If she bought 5 meters of yarn, how much yarn did she have left over?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can use the following steps:

Calculate the total length of yarn Kate used for the scarf:

Kate used 2 pieces of gold yarn each with length 3/4 meter.

So, total length of yarn used = (2 * 3/4) meters = 1.5 meters.

Calculate how much yarn Kate has left over:

Kate bought 5 meters of yarn.

Total length of yarn used for the scarf = 1.5 meters.

So, total length of yarn left over = (5 - 1.5) meters = 3.5 meters.

Therefore, Kate has 3.5 meters of yarn left over after making the scarf
