Answer:
[tex]11\frac{3}{8}\ yd[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find out the total yards of fabric used, add up the yards of fabric used for Nickys' room and the yards of fabric used for Linda's room
so
[tex]4\frac{3}{4}+6\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction
[tex]4\frac{3}{4}\ yd=4+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{4*4+3}{4}=\frac{19}{4}\ yd[/tex]
[tex]6\frac{5}{8}\ yd=6+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{6*8+5}{8}=\frac{53}{8}\ yd[/tex]
Adds the fractions
[tex]\frac{19}{4}+\frac{53}{8}=\frac{2*19+53}{8}= \frac{91}{8}\ yd[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]\frac{91}{8}\ yd= \frac{88}{8}+ \frac{3}{8}= 11\frac{3}{8}\ yd[/tex]
