Question

I like your math, but you can't make 3/5 of a bag

anonymous · Answer

...so I'd answer 5

anonymous · Answer

:D right! but wouldnt she have a leftovers?

anonymous · Answer

one bag takes 2/5 yards. there are totally 14 yards. so total bags = 14/2/5 = 35 bags

anonymous · Answer

so its, 5 and 3/5 or 35?

anonymous · Answer

no, d, 14*2 = 28 and 28/5 = 5 and 3/5, not 35

anonymous · Answer

what it means is, you can make 1 bag with two-fifths of a yard. so with one yard, you can make two and a half bags.
so with fourteen yards you can make 14 times 2.5
