Ms.Daza bought 3 1/2 yards of fabric. She used 2/3 of the fabric to make a costume. How much fabric did she use?

Multiply:

3 1/2 * 2/3 = 7/2 * 2/3 = 14/6 = 7/3 = 2 1/3

Ya got an answer wrong

To find out how much fabric Ms. Daza used, we need to multiply the total amount of fabric she bought (3 1/2 yards) by the fraction of fabric she used to make the costume (2/3).

Step 1: Convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction.
3 1/2 can be written as 7/2.

Step 2: Multiply the total fabric (7/2 yards) by the fraction used (2/3).
7/2 * 2/3 = (7 * 2) / (2 * 3) = 14/6.

Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible.
14/6 can be simplified as 7/3.

So, Ms. Daza used 7/3 yards of fabric to make the costume.

To find out how much fabric Ms. Daza used, we need to multiply the total amount of fabric she bought by the fraction used for the costume.

First, we need to convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator of the fraction (2), then add the numerator (1). This gives us: 3 * 2 + 1 = 7. So, 3 1/2 is equal to 7/2.

Next, we multiply the amount of fabric Ms. Daza bought (7/2) by the fraction used for the costume (2/3). To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. This gives us: 7/2 * 2/3 = (7 * 2) / (2 * 3) = 14/6.

However, it is preferable to simplify the fraction. Both 14 and 6 are divisible by 2, so we can reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us: 14/6 = 7/3.

Therefore, Ms. Daza used 7/3 yards of fabric to make the costume.
