The drama teacher is making costumes for the school play. Each costume requires 1 and 2/3 yards of material and 3/4 of a yard of ribbon. The
material costs $2.99 per yard and the ribbon costs 59 cents per yard.
What is the approximate cost for 2 costumes
A. $11.95
B. $5.65
C. $9.00
D. $10.90***
agree
(1 2/3)2.99+(3/4)*.59= cost of one costume == 5.42583333
cost of two costumes: 10.90
Ok. Thank you!
I'm Soo Lost Right Now !?
The answer is $10.80 :)
anyone know the answers
To calculate the approximate cost for 2 costumes, we need to calculate the cost of the material and the cost of the ribbon for each costume and then multiply them by 2.
Let's start with the cost of the material. Each costume requires 1 and 2/3 yards of material. So for 2 costumes, we would need 2 * 1 and 2/3 = 2 * 5/3 = 10/3 yards of material.
Next, we can calculate the cost of the material. The material costs $2.99 per yard, so the cost of 10/3 yards of material would be (10/3) * 2.99.
Now, let's move on to the cost of the ribbon. Each costume requires 3/4 of a yard of ribbon. So for 2 costumes, we would need 2 * (3/4) = 6/4 = 3/2 yards of ribbon.
The ribbon costs 59 cents per yard, so the cost of 3/2 yards of ribbon would be (3/2) * 0.59.
Finally, we can calculate the approximate total cost for 2 costumes by adding the cost of the material and the cost of the ribbon: (10/3) * 2.99 + (3/2) * 0.59.
Evaluating the expression, we find that the approximate total cost for 2 costumes is approximately $10.90, which corresponds to option D.
