Janet wants to make some new clothes. She purchases three pieces of fabric to make a dress, a jacket and a pair of pants. The first piece is 3 3/5 yd long. Another piece is 2 2/5 yd long. And the last piece is 3 yd long. Find the total number of yds of fabric that janet purchased. (simplify your answer. type a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number)

anonymous · Answer

3 3/5 + 2 2/5 + 3

You'll see the fractions 3/5+2/5=1 which makes our life easier.
So you have 3+2+3+1= 9 yards.
