Yvonne bought 4 7/8 yards of material to make a dress.

If Yvonne wanted to make 3 dresses that use 4 7/8 yd of fabric each, explain how she could use estimation to make sure she has enough fabric for all of them.

Respuesta :

She can round 4 7/8 as 5 yards of material. and since she's making three, multiply 5 yards by 3 dresses. that equals 15 yards of material needed.


Answer:

15 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each dress need fabric = [tex]4\frac{7}{8}[/tex] yards

                                       = [tex]\frac{39}{8}[/tex] yards

She needs fabric to make 3 dresses = [tex]\frac{39}{8}[/tex] × 3

                                                            = [tex]\frac{117}{8}[/tex]

                                                            = [tex]14\frac{5}{8}[/tex] yards

She will need  [tex]14\frac{5}{8}[/tex] yards or 14.63 ≈ 15 yards of fabric for all of 3 dresses.
