Given the statement:
A sign company charges $28 per yard for each custom-made banner. Ms Gill orders 2 banners that are each 17/8 yards long and 1 banner that is 25/8 yards.
Determine how much is the total cost.
Solution:
The total cost can be solved using logical analysis. The first step is to convert the fraction to decimals by dividing the numerator with the denominator.
17/8
= 2.125
= (2)(2.125)
= 4.25 yards
25/8
= 3.125 yards.
Add the values.
= 4.25 yards + 3.125 yards
= 7.375 yards
Now multiply 7.375 by 28.
= (7.375)($28)
= $206.5
Final answer:
The total cost of the 3 banners is $206.5.
