Yvonne bought 4 7/8 yards of material to make a dress.


If Yvonne wanted to make 3 dresses that use 4 7/8 yd of fabric each, explain how she could use estimation to make sure she has enough fabric for all of them.

Verified Answer :

She can round 4 7/8 as 5 yards of material. and since she's making three, multiply 5 yards by 3 dresses. that equals 15 yards of material needed.


Answer:

15 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each dress need fabric = \(4\frac{7}{8}\) yards

                                       = \(\frac{39}{8}\) yards

She needs fabric to make 3 dresses = \(\frac{39}{8}\) × 3

                                                            = \(\frac{117}{8}\)

                                                            = \(14\frac{5}{8}\) yards

She will need  \(14\frac{5}{8}\) yards or 14.63 ≈ 15 yards of fabric for all of 3 dresses.
