Question

Ms. Jackson is making book bags for her class. She needs 2 2/3 yards of fabric for each book bag. If she

wants to make 10 book bags, how much fabric should she buy?

Answer 1

26 2/3 is the answer.

Explanation:

Add the wholes first. That will give you 20. Then add the fractions. That will give you 20/3. When you write that in a mixed number, it will be 6 2/3. Add 20 with 6 2/3. That will give you 26 2/3 as the final answer.

Answer 2

26 2/3

Explanation:

first you want to times the yards which gives you 20 yards.

next you times the 2/3 by 10 giving you 20/3 yards. the fraction converted into a mixed numeral is 6 & 2/3.

add both the 6 & 2/3 and the 20 which gives you 26 2/3
