Question

Gail is making costumes for a school play. Each rabbit costume needs one and one half yards of white fur fabric, a yard of blue striped fabric, and a quarter of a yard of pink felt for the ears. G?ail needs to make eight rabbit costumes.??How man yards will she need, for the white fur fabric, blue striped fabric, and pink felt?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 12 yards of white fur fabric , 8 yards of blue striped fabric and 2 yards of pink she needed for 8 rabbit costumes.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of yards of white fur fabric each rabbit needs is given by

`1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)\ yards`

Number of yard of blue striped fabric each rabbit needs = 1

Number of yard of pick felt for the ears is given by

`(1)/(4)`

Total number of rabbit costume they needed = 8

Number of yards of white fur fabric for total number of rabbit costume she needs is given by

`8* (3)/(2)=4* 3=12\ yards`

Number of yards of blue striped fabric for total number of rabbit costume she needed is given by

`8* 1\\\\=8\ yards`

Number of yards of pink felt for the ears for total number of rabbit costume she needed is given by

`(1)/(4)* 8\\\\=2\ yards`

Hence, there are 12 yards of white fur fabric , 8 yards of blue striped fabric and 2 yards of pink she needed for 8 rabbit costumes.

Answer 2

Gail will need 12 yards of white fur, 8 yards of blue striped and 2 yards of the pink felt.

Explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of yards for making one costume of different fabrics are,

White fur fabric =
`1(1)/(2)` =
`(3)/(2)` yards

Blue striped fabric = 1 yard

Pink felt for ears =
`(1)/(4)` yards.

So, we have,

The amount required to make 8 costumes are,

White fur fabric =
`(3)/(2)* 8` = 3×4 = 12 yards

Blue striped fabric = 1×8 = 8 yards

Pink felt for ears =
`(1)/(4)* 8` = 2 yards.

Thus, Gail will need 12 yards of white fur, 8 yards of blue striped and 2 yards of the pink felt.
