Jane is making a suit which requires 2 5/8 yards for the jacket and 1 3/4 yards for the skirt. what is the total amount of material she needs? a. 3 1/2 yards b. 3 2/3 yards c. 4 yards d. 4 3/8 yards mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page)

In order to calculate this, We need to make sure that both measurements have the same denominator, so we need to transform 3/4 into a fraction with denominator of 8

1  3/4  >>>     1   6/8     ( the 6 comes from 8/4  x 3)

The total material that jane need would be:

2  5/8 + 1  6/8

= 3    11/8    

= 4    3/8

The answer is option D,
