Sara wants to make ribbons. She has 3/4 yards of yarn. She will use 1/8 yards of yarn. Does Sara have enough to make 7 ribbons?

Answer 1

So...
Sara has 0.75 yards of yarn
Sara will use 0.125 yards of yarn.
The question is asking "Does Sara have enough to make 7 ribbons?"
What do you think that you have to do?

Answer 2

Well... I think that you might have to multiply 0.125*7, then see if that is bigger than 0.75.
0.125*7= 0.875
Is 0.875 greater or smaller than 0.75??

Answer 3

0.875 could be 0.8750 while 0.75 could also be 0.750.
What I am trying to say is that it's like questioning:
Is 875 bigger than 750??

Answer 4

Hopefully, that helped you understand the question.
