2.99 * (7/4) = $_____
0.59 * (2/3) = $______
Add the two products together.
0.59 * (2/3) = $______
Add the two products together.
First, let's find the cost of the material for one costume:
- Each costume requires 1 3/4 yards of material.
- The cost of material per yard is $2.99.
To find the cost of the material for one costume, multiply the number of yards by the cost per yard.
1 3/4 yards = 7/4 yards.
7/4 yards * $2.99 per yard = $10.47.
Now, let's find the cost of the ribbon for one costume:
- Each costume requires 2/3 of a yard of ribbon.
- The cost of ribbon per yard is $0.59.
To find the cost of the ribbon for one costume, multiply the number of yards by the cost per yard.
2/3 yard * $0.59 per yard = $0.39.
Finally, let's add the cost of the material and the ribbon for one costume:
$10.47 + $0.39 = $10.86.
Therefore, the approximate cost of each costume is $10.86.
