Olivia wants to use her leftover yarn to create a blanket for her friend. She has 10 1/4 yards of green yarn, 3 2/25 yards of purple yarn and 2 2/3 yards of blue yarn. She decided to use only 1/6 of the purple yarn. How much purple yarn will she use for the blanket?
To find how much purple yarn Olivia will use for the blanket, we need to know 1/6 of 3 2/25 yards.
To find 1/6 of a number, we multiply that number by 1/6.
3 2/25 yards * 1/6 = 16/25 yards.
So, Olivia will use 16/25 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.
i dont think thats correct
Apologies for the earlier mistake. Let's correct it.
Olivia has 3 2/25 yards of purple yarn, and she decided to use only 1/6 of it.
To find 1/6 of the purple yarn, we multiply it by 1/6:
3 2/25 yards * 1/6 = (6/6) * (3 2/25) * (1/6)
First, let's convert the mixed number 3 2/25 to an improper fraction:
3 2/25 = (3 * 25 + 2)/25 = 77/25
Now we can continue with the calculation:
(6/6) * (77/25) * (1/6) = (6 * 77)/(6 * 25) * 1/6 = 462/150 = 154/50 = 3 4/50
Therefore, Olivia will use 3 4/50 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.
im pretty sure that 77/150 is the answer to 3 2/25 times 1/6
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct.
To calculate 3 2/25 yards * 1/6, we can first convert the mixed number 3 2/25 to an improper fraction:
3 2/25 = (3 * 25 + 2)/25 = 77/25
Now we can multiply the fractions:
77/25 * 1/6 = (77 * 1)/(25 * 6) = 77/150
Therefore, Olivia will use 77/150 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.
To find out how much purple yarn Olivia will use for the blanket, we need to calculate 1/6 of her total purple yarn.
First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
3 2/25 yards of purple yarn is equal to (3 * 25 + 2) / 25 = 77/25 yards.
Now, let's find 1/6 of the purple yarn.
(1/6) * (77/25) = (77/25) * (1/6) = 77/150 yards.
So, Olivia will use 77/150 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.
To find out how much purple yarn Olivia will use for the blanket, we need to multiply the total length of purple yarn she has by 1/6.
First, let's convert the mixed number, 3 2/25 yards, to an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (25) and then add the numerator (2). So, 3 2/25 becomes (3 × 25 + 2)/25 = 77/25 yards.
Now we can multiply 77/25 yards by 1/6:
(77/25) × (1/6) = (77 × 1)/(25 × 6) = 77/150
Therefore, Olivia will use 77/150 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.
