1. A costume designer made 10 costumes that each used 5.8 yards of fabric. If she had 238.2 yards of fabric to start with, about how much fabric does the costume designer have left? Write an equation and estimate the amount of fabric left.
2. A costume went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $12.50 and 6 shrubs. If the total bill was $71.00, how much did each shrub cost if they all cost the same? Write and solve an equation.
238.2 - (10 * 5.8) = x
2. This sounds like the beginning of a joke: "A costume went to a garden shop . . ."
she meant custermer

A costume designer made 10 costumes that each used 5.8 yards of fabric. If she had 238.2 yards of fabric to start with, about how much fabric does the costume designer have left? Write an equation and estimate the amount of fabric left.
10 x 5.8 = 58
238.2 / 58 = 4 (with a remainder of 6.2)
Wait but that doesnt make any sense
I dont trust this it was made in 2019 what if they CHANGED it or something you can never be to careful
They did not change anything on part 2 helper2 so don't fret it's okay but thanks for keeping us updated and informed have a great rest of your morning I say morning cause it is 3:40am where I'm at rn
1. To find out how much fabric the costume designer has left, we can subtract the total amount of fabric used for the costumes from the initial amount of fabric they had. Let's create an equation to represent this:
Let x be the amount of fabric left.
The total amount of fabric used for the costumes is 10 costumes * 5.8 yards/costume = 58 yards.
The equation is:
238.2 yards - 58 yards = x
To estimate the amount of fabric left, we can simply subtract 58 from 238.2:
x ≈ 238.2 - 58 = 180.2 yards
So, the costume designer has approximately 180.2 yards of fabric left.
2. To find out how much each shrub costs, we can subtract the cost of the potting soil from the total bill, then divide the result by the number of shrubs. Let's create an equation to represent this:
Let x be the cost of each shrub.
The total bill is the cost of the potting soil plus the cost of the shrubs: $12.50 + 6x = $71.00.
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting $12.50 from both sides:
6x = $71.00 - $12.50
6x = $58.50
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:
x = $58.50 / 6
x ≈ $9.75
Therefore, each shrub costs approximately $9.75.
