To determine 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.

So, the operation you will use is:

Division

For question 2, to find the number of yards of fabric for each costume:

\[ \text{Yards per costume} = \frac{1314 \text{ yards}}{4.5 \text{ costumes}} \]

Calculating that:

\[ 1314 \div 4.5 = 292.0 \]

This means Joanne will use 292 yards of fabric per costume.

None of the provided responses for question 2 correctly reflects this answer. The correct answer should be 292 yards per costume.
