You need 4 1/8 yards of blue silk to make one braidsmaid dress and 3 5/8 yards of the same fabric to make another one how many yards of the blue silk do you need to make both dresses

Respuesta :

Given that BLUE silk used to make one braidsmaid dress = [tex] 4 \frac{1}{8} [/tex] yards

Given that "[tex] 3 \frac{5}{8} [/tex] yards of the same fabric to make another one" which means BLUE silk is used for another dress too.

BLUE silk used to make another dress = [tex] 3 \frac{5}{8} [/tex] yards


Now we have to find how many yards of blue silk used so we will just add both numbers.

[tex] 4 \frac{1}{8} +3 \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

[tex] = 4+3 +\frac{1}{8}+ \frac{5}{8}[/tex]

[tex] = 7 +\frac{6}{8}[/tex]

[tex] = 7 +\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence final answer is [tex] 7 \frac{3}{4}[/tex] yards.
