Nancy has a sewing project that calls for panels, which use one and one-fourth yards of fabric each. She has four and one-half yards of fabric. How many complete panels can she cut from the fabric?
A. 1
B. 3
C. 0
D. 2
First.....convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions
1 + 1/4 = 5/4 (1)
4 + 1/2 = 9/2 (2)
The number of panels = (2) / (1) = (9/2) / (5/4) = (9/2) * ( 4/5) = 36/10 = 3.6 panels
However.....the whole number of panels = 3
