Problema Solution
Sharyn needs 3 3/8 yards of fabric to make a dress for herself and 2 1/8 yards of the same fabric to make a matching dress for her daughter. If she buys 6 1/8 yards of fabric, how much will she have left over?
Answer provided by our tutors
6 1/8 - (3 3/8 + 2 1/8) = 6 1/8 - 5 4/8 = 5 9/8 - 5 4/8 = 5/8
Sharyn will have 5/8 yards left over.
