Andi needs 5 1/2 yards of fabric for a project. She has a piece that is 3 1/4 yards at school and a piece that is 1 1/2 yards at home. How much more fabric does she need?
+654 The first step is to find out how much fabric she has.
We can convert to decimal.
3 1/4 = 3.25
1 1/2 = 1.5
3.25 + 1.5 = 4.75
5 1/2 = 5.5
5.5 - 4.75 = 0.75
She still needs 3/4 yards of fabric.
I hope this helped.
