Doris uses 6 square pieces of fabric to make one scarf. Each side of a square piece of fabric is one third yard in length. Doris can buy large pieces of fabric that are one-third yard long and 2 yards wide. How many large pieces of fabric should she buy to make 5 scarves? Show your work.

Answer :

Answer:

5 large pieces of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of each side of a square piece of fabric =[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] yard

Area of a Square = Length X Length

Area of one square piece of fabric = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] X [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] square yard.

To make one scarf, Doris uses 6 square pieces.

Area of one scarf =  [tex]6 X \frac{1}{9}= \frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex] square yard

Each large pieces of fabric is one-third yard long and 2 yards wide.

This is clearly a rectangle,

Area of a Rectangle = Length X Width

Area of each large piece of fabric=[tex]\frac{1}{3}X 2=\frac{2}{3}[/tex] square yard.

Since the Area of one scarf is equal to the area of each large piece of fabric, in order to make 5 scarves, Doris would need 5 large pieces of fabric.

Answer:

Only 5 will be required
