Question

Allana used Fraction 3 over 5 yard of fabric to make a scarf. Can she make 2 of these scarves with Fraction 1 and 7 over 10 yards of fabric, and why?

No, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 7 over 10 Division signFraction 3 over 5 is 1 and 1 over 50

No, because the quotient of Fraction 3 over 5Division signFraction 1 and 7 over 10 is 1 and 1 over 50

Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 7 over 10 Division signFraction 3 over 5 is 2 and 5 over 6

Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 3 over 5Division signFraction 1 and 7 over 10 is 2 and 5 over 6

Answer 1

C. Yes, because the quotient of 1 7/10 ÷ 3/5 is 2 5/6

Explanation:

1 scarf uses 3/5 yd of fabric.

(1 7/10) / (3/5) =

= 17/10 / 3/5

= 17/10 × 5/3

= (17 × 5)/(10 × 3)

= (17 × 5)/(2 × 5 × 3)

= 17/6

= 2 5/6

She has enough fabric for 2 5/6 scarves.

Answer:

C. Yes, because the quotient of 1 7/10 ÷ 3/5 is 2 5/6
