Answer:
The total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
Sue buys 5 pieces of fabric.
[tex]Each\ piece\ is\ 1 \frac{7}{10}\ yards\ long.[/tex]
i.e
[tex]Each\ piece\ is\ \frac{17}{10}\ yards\ long.[/tex]
[tex]Total\ length\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = \frac{5\times 17}{10}\ yards[/tex]
[tex]Total\ length\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = \frac{85}{10}\ yards[/tex]
In the decimal form
Total length of fabric sue buys = 8.5 yards
As given
One yard of the fabric costs $5
[tex]Total\ cost\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = 8.5\times 5[/tex]
= $ 42.5
Therefore the total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .
