Debbie needs 5 yards of yellow fabric, 6.5 yards of blue fabric, and 8.2 yards of orange fabric to create a quilt. if the store only sells fabric by the meter, how many total meters of fabric will she purchase? (1 yard is approximately 0.9 m) (your answer should be to the hundredths and do not put units)

17.73 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple. Just multiply each number by .9 and add them together. This will turn them into meter form.

5*.9=4.5

6.5*.9=5.85

8.2*.9=7.38

Now add!

4.5+5.85=10.35

10.35+7.38=17.73

She will need 17.73 meters of fabric total.

Hope this helps!

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
