I need it ASAP! Sharon wanted to buy 3.1 m of red fabric and 6.9 m of blue fabric.
Which statement best describes how much of each fabric the sales clerk should cut?
A.
The clerk should cut exactly 3.1 m of red fabric and 6.9 m of blue fabric so that Sharon has enough red fabric and isn't paying for blue fabric that she doesn't need.
B.
The clerk can cut 3 m of red fabric and 7 m of blue fabric. As long as the total purchase equals 10 m, Sharon will have the correct amount of fabric.
C.
The clerk can average the two amounts and cut 3.5 m of each fabric. She can cut both fabrics together and save time.
