Question

jerry has 2 1/2 yards of yarn. to make a hat, she only needs one third of that. how many yard of fabric does jerry need to make the hat

Answer 1

To find out how many yards of fabric Jerry needs to make the hat, we need to divide 2 1/2 yards of yarn by 3, since she only needs one third of that.

2 1/2 yards / 3 = 5/2 yards / 3 = 5/6 yards

Therefore, Jerry needs 5/6 yards of fabric to make the hat.
