Answer:
Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 ÷ Fraction 3 over 4 is 2 and 2 over 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Jade used Fraction 3 over 4 yard of fabric to make a scarf. Can she make 2 of these scarves with Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 yards of fabric, and why?
Representing the above expression Mathematically
3/4 yard = 1 scarf
1 4/5 yards of fabric = x
Cross Multiply
3/4x = 1 4/5 × 1
x = 9/5/ 3/4
x = 9/5 ÷ 3/4
x = 9/5 × 4/3
x = 12/5 scarves
x = 2 2/5 scarves
Hence, the correct option is :
Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 4 over 5 ÷ Fraction 3 over 4 is 2 and 2 over 5
