Question

Olivia wants to use her leftover yarn to create a blanket for her friend. She has 10 1/4 yards of green yarn, 3 2/25 yards of purple yarn and 2 2/3 yards of blue yarn. She decided to use only 1/6 of the purple yarn. How much purple yarn will she use for the blanket?

Answer 1

To find how much purple yarn Olivia will use for the blanket, we need to know 1/6 of 3 2/25 yards.

To find 1/6 of a number, we multiply that number by 1/6.

3 2/25 yards * 1/6 = 16/25 yards.

So, Olivia will use 16/25 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.

Answer 2

i dont think thats correct

Answer 3

Apologies for the earlier mistake. Let's correct it.

Olivia has 3 2/25 yards of purple yarn, and she decided to use only 1/6 of it.

To find 1/6 of the purple yarn, we multiply it by 1/6:

3 2/25 yards * 1/6 = (6/6) * (3 2/25) * (1/6)

First, let's convert the mixed number 3 2/25 to an improper fraction:

3 2/25 = (3 * 25 + 2)/25 = 77/25

Now we can continue with the calculation:

(6/6) * (77/25) * (1/6) = (6 * 77)/(6 * 25) * 1/6 = 462/150 = 154/50 = 3 4/50

Therefore, Olivia will use 3 4/50 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.

Answer 4

im pretty sure that 77/150 is the answer to 3 2/25 times 1/6

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct.

To calculate 3 2/25 yards * 1/6, we can first convert the mixed number 3 2/25 to an improper fraction:

3 2/25 = (3 * 25 + 2)/25 = 77/25

Now we can multiply the fractions:

77/25 * 1/6 = (77 * 1)/(25 * 6) = 77/150

Therefore, Olivia will use 77/150 yards of purple yarn for the blanket.
