Kayla bought 2 1/2 yards of blue cloth for 6.97 and 1 1/2 yards of yellow cloth for half as much. She used 1/4 of the blue cloth to make her mother a apron. How much cloth did it take to make the apron

Respuesta :

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2} \\ 1\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

She used 1/4 of the blue cloth to make her mother a apron:

[tex]\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{8}=0.625[/tex]

She used 5/8 yd or 0.625yd of blue coth to make the apron
