Answer 1

5/16

Explanation:

3 3/4= 13/4

13/4 ÷ 12= 0.3125

0.3125 = 5/16

Answer 2

the number of yards be 0.3125

Explanation:

The computation of the number of yards will each piece of fabric be is shown below:

Given that

There is
`3 (3)/(4)` yards long i.e. 15 ÷ 4

And, it should be cut into 12 equal pieces

So, the number of yards will each piece of fabric be is

= 15 ÷ 4 ÷ 12 ÷ 1

= 15 ÷ 48

= 0.3125

Hence, the number of yards be 0.3125
