Question

Meri is making birdhouses. Each birdhouse uses 5/8 yard of wood. What is the total length of wood Meri will need to make 7 birdhouses?

Answer 1

4.375 yards of wood

Explanation:

You would do 5/8 time 7/1. Then you would do 5 times 7 and get 35. Then you'd do 8 times 1, which equals 8. 35/8 is equivalent to 4.375
