Question

I spent $26 on 4 yards of fabric, but I want to have 7

yards of fabric altogether. How much will that cost?

Answer 1

$45.50

Explanation:

If 4 yards of fabric costs $26, we can divide to see how much one yard costs. 26÷4 is 6.5, and since you want 7 yards, we can multiply by 7 to see how much 7 yards cost. 7×6.5 is 45.5, and converting that to dollars gives us $45.50.
