Question

yuki was making costumes for a play. She needed 7/8 of a yard of orange fabric for one costume and 1 3/8 yards of orange fabric for the other costume. How much orange fabric did she need to make the two costumes.

Answer 1

2 1/4

Explanation:

This is an addition problem.

7/8 + 1 3/8 = 7/8 + 1 + 3/8 = 1 + 10/8 = 1 + 8/8 + 2/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/4 = 2 1/4
