Question

Ciara is making a new dance outfit. She needs 2 ⅓ yards of fabric for the shawl. She needs 1 ¾ years of fabric for the dress. If she has 3 yards of fabric, how much more does she need ?

Answer 1

Answer: 1 1/12 yards

Explanation:

Since Ciara needs 2 ⅓ yards of fabric for the shawl and also needs 1 ¾ yards of fabric for the dress, the total yards needed will be:

= 2⅓ + 1¾

= 2 4/12 + 1 9/12

= 3 13/12

= 4 1/12 yards

Since she has 3 yards of fabric, the number of yards needed more will be:

= 4 1/12 - 3

= 1 1/12

Therefore, she needs 1 1/12 yards more.
