Question

Melanies superhero costume for the school play requires 1 5/6 yards of green fabric and 1/3 yard of yellow fabric.How many total yards of fabric are needed for the costume?

Answer 1

`2(1)/(6)` yards of fabric.

Explanation:

It is required
`1(5)/(6)` yards of green fabric and
`(1)/(3)` yards of yellow fabric to make the costume for the school play.

We are asked to calculate the total yards of fabric required.

So, the total yards of fabric needed will be the sum of green fabric length and yellow fabric length.

So, the total yards of fabric are needed for costume will be
`(1(5)/(6) + (1)/(3)) = ((11)/(6) + (1)/(3)) = (13)/(6) = 2(1)/(6)` yards. (Answer)
