To determine how many yards of fabric Joanne will use for each costume, you need to divide the total amount of fabric (1314 yards) by the number of costumes (4.5).
Question 1:
Which operation will you use?
- Response: Division
Question 2:
Now, let's calculate how many yards of fabric Joanne will use for each costume:
\[ \text{Fabric per costume} = \frac{\text{Total fabric}}{\text{Number of costumes}} = \frac{1314 \text{ yd}}{4.5} \]
Calculating that:
\[ 1314 \div 4.5 = 292.0 \text{ yd (each costume)} \]
Given the multiple-choice answers you provided, it seems there might have been a misunderstanding, as none of the answer choices match 292.0.
However, if we consider a different way to express the division (using fractions), we could also express 4.5 as a fraction \(\frac{9}{2}\):
\[ \text{Fabric per costume} = \frac{1314}{\frac{9}{2}} = 1314 \times \frac{2}{9} = \frac{2628}{9} \approx 292 \]
Thus, based on the closest to the possible options, none seem to fit directly from this calculation.
Your options don't seem to represent the answer correctly, or they might contain a typo. The correct answer is approximately 292 yards per costume.
