Given :
Yvonne wanted to make three dresses that you used 4 7/8 yard of fabric each
Determine the estimation for Yvonne to have enough fabric for all of them.
Solution:
Convert first the mixed number to while number, by adding the whole number to the decimal value of the fraction part. In order to change the fraction to decimal we simply divide the numerator with the denominator.
4 7/8
= 7/8
= 0.875
= 4.875
Divide 4.875 by 3 since Yvonne wants to make 3 dresses.
= 4.875/3
= 1.625
Final answer:
Yvonne will be using 1.625 yards for each dress.
