To solve this, we need to multiply 7 and 2/5.
7 = 7/1
2/5 = 2/5
7 x 2 = 14
1 x 5 = 5
= 14/5
Simplifying 14/5 . . .
14/5 = 2 4/5
Pia used 2 4/5 yards of fabric.
I hope this helped! :)
Pia sewed 7 skirts. She needed [tex] \frac{2}{5} [/tex] yards of fabric for each skirt. To find the total amount of fabric she used, multiply the amount for 1 by how many she sewed in all.
That means you have to multiply [tex] \frac{2}{5} [/tex] by 7
[tex] \frac{2}{5} \times 7 = \frac{14}{5} \rightarrow 2 \frac{4}{5} [/tex]
She used a total of [tex] 2 \frac{4}{5} [/tex] yards of fabric
Hope this helps! :)
