Question

Fern is helping her mother make decorations for a family gathering Fern is putting lace around napkins for each napkin Fern needs 3/5 yard of lace Fern will put the lace on 10 napkins.

Answer 1

The equation to find the total yards of lace Fern need is
`x=\frac35* 10`.

Fern will need 6 yards of lace in total.

Explanation:

Given:

Yard of lace required for each napkins =
`(3)/(5)\ yards`

Number of napkins needs to put lace = 10

We need to Write an equation to solve this and explain how many yards of lace Fern will need total.

Solution:

Let the total yards of lace Fern need be 'x'.

So we can say that;

total yards of lace Fern need can be calculated by multiplying Yard of lace required for each napkins with Number of napkins needs to put lace .

framing in equation form we get;

`x=\frac35* 10`

Hence the equation to find the total yards of lace Fern need is
`x=\frac35* 10`.

On solving we get;

`x=(3)/(5)* 10\\\\x=6\ yards`

Hence Fern will need 6 yards of lace in total.
