Question

Susan wants to make aprons for cooking. She needs one and three fourths yards of fabric for the front of the apron and three eighths yards of fabric for the tie.

Part A: Calculate how much fabric is needed to make 3 aprons? Show every step of your work. (5 points)

Part B: If Susan originally has 7 yards of fabric, how much is left over after making the aprons? Show every step of your work. (5 points)

Part C: Does Susan have enough fabric left to make another apron? Explain why or why not. (2 points)

Answer 1

Part A:
To make 3 aprons, Susan will need:
3 * (1 3/4) = 5 1/4 yards of fabric for the front of the apron
3 * (3/8) = 9/8 = 1 1/8 yards of fabric for the tie

Therefore, Susan will need a total of 5 1/4 + 1 1/8 = 6 3/8 yards of fabric to make 3 aprons.

Part B:
If Susan starts with 7 yards of fabric and uses 6 3/8 yards to make the aprons, she will have:
7 - 6 3/8 = 7 - (6 + 3/8) = 7 - (5 + 1/8) = 7 - 5 - 1/8 = 2 - 1/8 = 1 7/8 yards of fabric left.

Part C:
Susan does not have enough fabric left to make another apron, as she would need 1 3/4 yards of fabric for the front and 3/8 yards for the tie, which totals to 2 1/8 yards of fabric. Since Susan only has 1 7/8 yards remaining, she does not have enough fabric to make another apron.

Answer 2

Part A:
To make 3 aprons, Susan will need:
3 * (1 3/4) = 5 1/4 yards of fabric for the front of the apron
3 * (3/8) = 9/8 = 1 1/8 yards of fabric for the tie

Therefore, Susan will need a total of 5 1/4 + 1 1/8 = 6 3/8 yards of fabric to make 3 aprons.

Part B:
If Susan starts with 7 yards of fabric and uses 6 3/8 yards to make the aprons, she will have:
7 - 6 3/8 = 7 - (6 + 3/8) = 7 - (5 + 1/8) = 7 - 5 - 1/8 = 2 - 1/8 = 1 7/8 yards of fabric left.

Part C:
Susan does not have enough fabric left to make another apron, as she would need 1 3/4 yards of fabric for the front and 3/8 yards for the tie, which totals to 2 1/8 yards of fabric. Since Susan only has 1 7/8 yards remaining, she does not have enough fabric to make another apron.

Answer 3

Part A:
To make 3 aprons, Susan will need:
3 * (1 3/4) = 5 1/4 yards of fabric for the front of the apron
3 * (3/8) = 9/8 = 1 1/8 yards of fabric for the tie

Therefore, Susan will need a total of 5 1/4 + 1 1/8 = 6 3/8 yards of fabric to make 3 aprons.

Part B:
If Susan starts with 7 yards of fabric and uses 6 3/8 yards to make the aprons, she will have:
7 - 6 3/8 = 7 - (6 + 3/8) = 7 - (5 + 1/8) = 7 - 5 - 1/8 = 2 - 1/8 = 1 7/8 yards of fabric left.

Part C:
Susan does not have enough fabric left to make another apron, as she would need 1 3/4 yards of fabric for the front and 3/8 yards for the tie, which totals to 2 1/8 yards of fabric. Since Susan only has 1 7/8 yards remaining, she does not have enough fabric to make another apron.
