{1 yard = 3 feet.}

12 yard = 36 feet

1/3 yard = 1 feet                      12 1/3 = 36 + 1 = 37

47-37 = 10 more feet is needed. 10/3 = 3.33333   ( 3 1/3 )

The number of yards of fabric needed is 3 1/3 yards

Definition of fractions

A fraction is a number that is not an integer. It is made up of a numerator and a denominator.

Types of fractions:

  • Proper fraction: the numerator is ls smaller than the denominator. For example, 2/3.
  • Improper fraction: the numerator is greater than the denominator. For example, 3/2.
  • Mixed fraction: it is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. For example 12 1/3.

Determination of the yards needed

1 feet = 1/3 yards

47 x 1/3 = 15 2/3 yards

Yards left = 15 2/3 - 12 1/3

3 \(\frac{2 - 1}{3}\) = 3 1/3 yards
