Given:
Mr. Cumme has 8 3/4 yards of material for her class.
he needs to use 1/3 of the material to make an example.
To find the number of yards of material that he will need, we will multiply 1/3 by 8 3/4 to get the answer.
[tex]\frac{1}{3}\times8\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{35}{4}=\frac{35}{12}=2\frac{11}{12}[/tex]So, the answer will be 2 11/12 yards.
