Question

Mr Reid needs 5 1/2 yards of fabric to make a costume. He already has 2 1/4 yards. How many yards of fabric does he need?

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{Hi !}}$

$\sf{\underline{Cloth\:Mr.\:Reid\:has} = \frac{9}{4}}$

$\sf{\underline{Cloth\:required} = \frac{11}{2}}$

$\sf{\underline{Cloth\:needed} = \frac{11}{2} - \frac{9}{4}}$

=》 $\sf{\huge{\frac{13}{4}\:yards}}$
