Question

A pattern calls for three different fabrics.

Fabric A: 3 78
yards

Fabric B: 3 15
yards

Fabric C: 93
yards

Brit would like to know the order of the yards needed for each fabric from least to greatest to plan his budget for completing this pattern.

Answer 1

To determine the order of fabrics needed from least to greatest, let's convert the mixed numbers and whole numbers into improper fractions or decimal form to make comparisons easier.

1. Fabric A: 3 7/8 yards = \(3 + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{24}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{31}{8} = 3.875\) yards
2. Fabric B: 3 1/5 yards = \(3 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{16}{5} = 3.2\) yards
3. Fabric C: 93 yards = 93 yards (already a whole number)

Now, let's list the values:
- Fabric A: 3.875 yards
- Fabric B: 3.2 yards
- Fabric C: 93 yards

Now, we'll order them from least to greatest:
- Fabric B: 3.2 yards
- Fabric A: 3.875 yards
- Fabric C: 93 yards

So the correct order is:

**B, A, C**

Thus, the answer is:
**B, A, C**
