divide?

Answer 5

Well if you bought some thread for $1.25, then the other amount beside 1.25 is how much she spent for thread. So you need to first find out how much she spent for fabric. You will need to subtract 28.10-1.25. What do you get when you subtract that?

Answer 6

26.85

Answer 7

Right. That's how much Jennifer spent for 3 yards of fabric. So now what do you think you need to do?

Answer 8

umm

Answer 9

It's what you wanted to do when we first started. You need to divide by 3 so we can find out how much was spent for 1. So what is 26.85/3? That will be your answr.
