Answer:
Option C) 3 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the fabric that Casey had = [tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] yards
She used some to make pillows = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] yards
and she used fabric to make curtains = 3 yards
She used total fabric = [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + 3
= [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] + 3
= [tex]\frac{5+6}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] yards
Now to calculate the remaining fabric, we will subtract the used fabric from the total fabric.
[tex]8\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{17}{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{17-11}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
= 3 yards
3 yards fabric is remaining.
