Question

Tiara is making a new dance outfit. She will need 3 2/3 yards of fabric for a shawl. She also needs 1 3/5 yards of fabric for the dress. She is fortunate enough to already have 2 yards of fabric in her possession. If the current price for fabric is $6.75 per yard, how much money will she need to finish her dance outfit?​

Answer 1

Answer: 22.05

Explanation:

3 2/3 = 3 10/15

1 3/5 = 1 9/15

1 9/15 + 3 10/15 = 4 19/15 = 5 4/15

5 4/15 - 2 = 3 4/15

6.75 x 3 = 20.25

6.75 x 4/15 = 1.80

1.80 + 20.25 = 22.05

Hope this Helps!

(Let me know if you want me to explain how I did the 4/15 part!)
