Susanna found a roll of fabric she wanted to use to make a pillow. The roll had 3/4 of a yard of fabric left. Susanna needed 5/7 of the remaining fabric. Which fraction represents how much fabric Susanna needed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{15}{28}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Susanna found a roll of fabric left = 3/4 of a yard

Susanna needed = 5/7 of the remaining fabric.

Question asked:

Which fraction represents how much fabric Susanna needed?

Solution:

To know the fraction that represents how much fabric Susanna is needed, we will simply multiply :-

The roll had  fabric left = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ of\ a \ yard[/tex]

Susanna needed = [tex]\frac{5}{7}\ of\ remaining\ fabric[/tex]

                             [tex]=\frac{5}{7} \ of \frac{3}{4} \\\\ =\frac{5}{7} \times\frac{3}{4} \\\\ =\frac{15}{28} \\[/tex]

Thus, Susana needed [tex]\frac{15}{28}[/tex] of a yard fabric.
