Question

Jenny has a piece of fabric that is 1 1/2 yards long.%0D%0A%0D%0AShe cuts the fabric into 4 equal-sized pieces.%0D%0AShe uses 1 of the pieces to make small pillows for her sister's dolls.%0D%0AEach pillow is 3/16 yard long.

Answer 1

is that true

Answer 2

To find the length of the small pillows, we need to divide the length of the fabric by the number of pieces.

1 1/2 yards = 3/2 yards

3/2 yards divided by 4 = (3/2) / 4 = 3/2 * 1/4 = 3/8 yards

Each small pillow is 3/16 yard long.

So, Jenny can make 3/8 ÷ 3/16 = 3/8 * 16/3 = 16/8 = 2 small pillows for her sister's dolls.

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's calculate the correct answer.

Jenny has a piece of fabric that is 1 1/2 yards long. We can convert this to an improper fraction:

1 1/2 = (2 * 1 + 1) / 2 = 3/2 yards

She cuts the fabric into 4 equal-sized pieces. We need to divide the length of the fabric by the number of pieces:

3/2 yards / 4 = (3/2) / 4 = 3/2 * 1/4 = 3/8 yards

Each small pillow is 3/16 yard long.

To find how many small pillows Jenny can make, we can divide the length of the fabric by the length of each small pillow:

(3/8 yards) / (3/16 yards) = (3/8) / (3/16) = 3/8 * 16/3 = 48/24 = 2

So, Jenny can make 2 small pillows for her sister's dolls.
