Jacob has 17 yards of fabric. He uses 1 third of it to make a cape. How many yards of fabric does Jacob use for the cape? Solve on paper. Write your answer as a mixed number. 17 yards ? Jacob uses yards of fabric for the cape.

Joseph used

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fabric available = 17 yards

fraction used = one-third = 1/3

Let us convert this fraction to actual number

He used one-third of total

=

To convert to mixed number, look for the closest number to the numerator that the denominator in the fraction can divide, and write it as the whole number in the mixed fraction, the remainder becomes the numerator of the new fraction:

The closest number to 17 that 3 can divide without a remainder is 15 and 3 can divide 15, 5 times, while the remainder becomes 2

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
