and don't trust the bot. It is usually wrong.
To find out how many total yards of fabric Becky buys, we need to calculate the total cost of the fabric she purchases and then divide that by the cost per yard.
The cost of the striped fabric is $71.50, and the cost of the checkered fabric is $52.25.
The cost per yard of fabric is $5.50.
To find the total yards of fabric, we need to calculate (total cost of fabric) ÷ (cost per yard).
Total cost of fabric = $71.50 + $52.25 = $123.75
Total yards of fabric = $123.75 ÷ $5.50 = 22.5 yards
Therefore, Becky buys a total of 22.5 yards of fabric.
To find the total yards of fabric Becky buys, we need to first calculate the total cost of the fabric she bought.
The cost of the striped fabric is $71.50, and the cost of the checkered fabric is $52.25. Both fabrics cost $5.50 per yard.
To find the total yards, we divide the total cost of the fabric by the cost per yard.
For the striped fabric:
Total yards of striped fabric = Total cost of striped fabric / Cost per yard of striped fabric
Total yards of striped fabric = $71.50 / $5.50
For the checkered fabric:
Total yards of checkered fabric = Total cost of checkered fabric / Cost per yard of checkered fabric
Total yards of checkered fabric = $52.25 / $5.50
Now we can calculate the result.
