Question

Emily needs enough fabric for 3 1/2 hat's,since she has half a hat done already.if each hat requires 1 2/7 feet of fabric,how much fabric will she need to make the 3 1/2 hat's?

Answer 1

If each hat requires

$1\frac{2}{7} \: feet \: of \: fabric$

3 1/2 hats will need

$\frac{9}{7} \times \frac{7}{2}$

$= \frac{9}{2}$

$= 4.5 \: ft \: of \: cloth.$

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
