Erica bought 3 1/2 yards of fabric. If she uses 2/3 of the fabric to make a curtain, how much will she have left?

Solution:

Fabric bought by Erica = 3 1/2 yards = 7/2 yards

Fabric used to make a curtain = 2/3 of the fabric

= 2/3 × 7/2

= 7/3

Fabric left out = Fabric bought by Erica - Fabric used to make a curtain

Substituting the values

= 7/2 - 7/3

Taking LCM

= (21 - 14)/ 6

= 7/6

= 1 1/6

Therefore, Erica has 1 1/6 of the fabric left.

Erica bought 3 1/2 yards of fabric. If she uses 2/3 of the fabric to make a curtain, how much will she have left?

Summary:

Erica bought 3 1/2 yards of fabric. If she uses 2/3 of the fabric to make a curtain, she has 1 1/6 of the fabric left.
