Sally is making pillow covers. The last step is to add trim. She purchased 1 yard of trim, but used 3 8 of it on another project. If Sally uses the remaining 5 8 yard of trim to complete 2 pillow covers, how much will she use on each cover? ____ yards
im not too sure an whats its asking, could some on explain it please
+128408 She has 5/8 of a yard left for each pillow.....assuming she uses the same amount for each pillow, we just need to divide this by 2......
So .... ( 5/8 ) / (2) = (5/8)/(2/1) ...... invert the second fraction and multiply....and we have
5/8 x 1/2 =
5/16 of a yard....and that's the amount she will use on each cover......
