Using 45-in. fabric, Regan needs 2 and one fourth yd for a dress, one fourth yd of contrasting fabric for the band at the bottom, and 4 and three fourths yd for a coordinating jacket. How many yards of 45-in. fabric are needed in all?

Step-by-step explanation:

Regan needs the following:

yards for a dress

Total Length of fabric needed

The number of yards of 45-in. fabric needed is

In all, the length of fabric that Regan needs is yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to a word problem involving the sum of fractional dimensions

The parameters given are

Dress = 2¹/₄ yd of the 45-in. fabric

Band at the bottom = 1/4 yd of the 45-in. fabric

Jacket = 4³/₄ yd of the 45-in. fabric

Hence the total length, L, of the 45-in. fabric Regan needs is found as follows;

L = 2¹/₄ + 1/4 + 4³/₄ = ²⁹/₄ = 7¹/₄ yd.

In all, the length of fabric that Regan needs = yards.
