Nate has 4 1/3 yards of fabric. He uses 2.5 yards of fabric to make a pillow. How much
fabric does he have left?
To find out how much fabric Nate has left, we need to subtract the amount of fabric he used from the total amount he started with.
Total fabric = 4 1/3 yards = 13/3 yards
Fabric used for pillow = 2.5 yards
Fabric left = Total fabric - Fabric used
Fabric left = 13/3 - 2.5
Fabric left = 13/3 - 7.5/3
Fabric left = 5.5/3
Therefore, Nate has 5.5/3 yards of fabric left after making the pillow.
simplify the answer
To simplify the answer further:
5.5/3 yards = 1 2/3 yards
Therefore, Nate has 1 2/3 yards of fabric left after making the pillow.
