Answer choices:
1. Multiply 2 1/2 by 4 1/4
2. Add 2 1/2 and 4 1/4
3. Divide 10 1/2 by 2
4. Subtract 6 3/4 from 10 1/2

Answer 1

ans = 4

Explanation:

he has 2 1\2 and 4 1\4

to find the ans, we must firstly find out his total amount of fabric, so we add the available fabric

first we add whole numbers

2 + 4 = 6

then we add fractions

1 1

--- + ---

2 4

2 + 1 3

------------- = ---

4 4

after we add the whole no and fraction

6 + 3\4 = 6 3\4

note 10 1\2 is greater than 6 3\4

so to find the part left, we

have

10 1\2 - 6 3\4

as our answer
