yoshio is cutting fabric to make tenugui he needs a total of 5^3/4 yards of fabric he already has 2^1/4 yards of fabric yoshio wants to know how many more yards of fabric he should buy let y be the number of fabric yoshio should buy write an equation to describe the situation
Let y be the number of yards of fabric Yoshio should buy. The equation to describe the situation is:
2^1/4 + y = 5^3/4
how many more yards of fabric should yoshio buy
To find out how many more yards of fabric Yoshio should buy, we need to solve the equation:
2^1/4 + y = 5^3/4
First, convert 2^1/4 and 5^3/4 into decimal form:
2^1/4 = 2.25
5^3/4 = 5.75
Now, plug in the values:
2.25 + y = 5.75
Subtract 2.25 from both sides:
y = 5.75 - 2.25
y = 3.5
Therefore, Yoshio should buy 3.5 yards more of fabric.
yoshio has 3 pieces of fabric each piece of fabric has the same length the total length of the pieces of fabric is 2^1/4 yards what is the length of each piece of fabric let x be the length of each piece of fabric in yards write an equation to describe the situation
Let x be the length of each piece of fabric in yards. Since there are three pieces of fabric with the same length, the total length of the three pieces is 3x.
The equation to describe the situation is:
3x = 2^1/4
the length of each piece of fabric is how many yards
To determine the length of each piece of fabric, we need to solve the equation:
3x = 2^1/4
First, convert 2^1/4 into decimal form:
2^1/4 = 2.25
Now, we can substitute this value into the equation:
3x = 2.25
Next, divide both sides by 3 to isolate x:
x = 2.25 / 3
x = 0.75
Therefore, the length of each piece of fabric is 0.75 yards.
