Question

Debbie needs 5 yards of yellow fabric, 6.5 yards of blue fabric, and 8.2 yards of orange fabric to create a quilt. If the store only sells fabric by the meter, how many total meters of fabric will she purchase? (1 yard is approximately 0.9 m) (Your answer should be to the hundredths and do not put units)

Answer 1

Answer:

17.73 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple. Just multiply each number by .9 and add them together. This will turn them into meter form.

5*.9=4.5

6.5*.9=5.85

8.2*.9=7.38

Now add!

4.5+5.85=10.35

10.35+7.38=17.73

She will need 17.73 meters of fabric total.

Hope this helps!
