Hasan has 18 3/4 yards of fabric. It takes 3 1/6 yards to make a pillowcase. Has an plans to make as many pillowcases as he can. How many yards of fabric will be left over?
I don't want to do my hw so I searched it up..
(18 3/4)/(3 1/6) = 5 35/38
So, he can make 5 pillowcases, with some cloth left over.
5(3 1/6) = 15 5/6
So, you just need to subtract and you get
18 3/4 - 15 5/6
to find the amount left over.
2 11/12
Idk help me
ooops
To find out how many pillowcases Hasan can make, we need to divide the total amount of fabric he has (18 3/4 yards) by the amount of fabric needed to make a single pillowcase (3 1/6 yards).
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
18 3/4 = (4 * 18) + 3 = 75/4 yards
3 1/6 = (6 * 3) + 1 = 19/6 yards
Now we can divide the total fabric by the fabric required for a single pillowcase:
(75/4) / (19/6)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(75/4) * (6/19)
Next, we can simplify the multiplication:
(75 * 6) / (4 * 19)
Now let's calculate the numerator and the denominator:
450 / 76
To find out how many pillowcases Hasan can make, we perform the division:
450 ÷ 76 = 5, remainder 50
Therefore, Hasan can make 5 pillowcases using his fabric, with 50/76 yards of fabric remaining.
To find the remaining fabric in yards, we can convert the fraction to a mixed number:
50/76 = 1/2 + 2/76
= 1/2 + 1/38
So, Hasan will have 5 pillowcases and 1 1/2 + 1/38 yards of fabric remaining.
