Answer 1

To find out how many yards of fabric Joanne will use for each costume, you need to divide the total amount of fabric by the number of costumes.

Joanne has 1314 yards of fabric and is making 4.5 costumes:

\[
\text{Fabric used per costume} = \frac{1314 \text{ yd}}{4.5}
\]

Now, performing the division:

\[
\frac{1314}{4.5} = \frac{1314 \times 10}{4.5 \times 10} = \frac{13140}{45} \approx 292
\]

Now breaking this down:

To determine the exact value:

\[
\frac{13140}{45} = 292
\]

Thus, Joanne will use approximately 292 yards of fabric for each costume. None of the provided responses seem to match the calculated answer. If the responses should be in fractions or different representations, I recommend checking the process of each division.

If we convert to mixed numbers:

292 can be written as:

\[
292 = 292 \frac{0}{1}
\]

If you meant to provide specific numeric responses, I suggest checking them or verifying again the context around the responses.
