Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to add Brett's and Irwin's meters of fabric and compare:

1 3/4 + 3/2 = (4(1)+3)/4 + 3/2 = 7/4 + 3/2 = 7/4 + 3(2)/2(2) = 7/4 +6/4 =13/4 m

Total meters of fabric available = 23/6m = 3.25m (in decimal form)

Meters of fabric needed = 2 1/2 = 5/2 = 2.5 m

Since the meters available are greater than the meters needed:

3.25> 2.5

They have enough fabric.
