Sewing patterns recommend buying extra fabric in case of mistakes. Jessica bought 5 yards of fabric, plus 20% extra fabric. Derek bought 3 yards of fabric, plus 25% extra. Who bought more fabric? How much more?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Jessica bought 2.25 yards more material than Derek.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica bought 5 yards of fabric.

20% extra fabric = 20% of 5

                            = (20×5)/100

                            = 1 yard

Total fabric bought by Jessica = 5+1 = 6 yards

Derek bought 3 yards of fabric.

20% extra fabric = 25% of

                            = (25×3)/100

                            = 0.75 yard

Total fabric bought by Derek = 3 + 0.75 = 3.75 yards

So,

Difference = 6 - 3.75 = 2.25 yards

Answer: Jessica bought 2.25 yards more material than Derek.

Answer 2
Answer: 20% = 0.2
(5 * 0.2) + 5
5 * 0.2 = 1
5 + 1 = 6

25% = 0.25
(3 * 0.25) + 3
3 * 0.25 = 0.75
3 + 0.75 = 3.75

6 - 3.75 = 2.25

Jessica bought 2.25 yards more material than Derek.

Deborah found that six of the 24 students in her class on a cell phone what is the ratio of students that own a cell phone to students that do not

Answers

so Deborah found 1/4 of the students had a cell phone and so what is left I think it will be this 4:1
Students that do own a cellphone . . . . . 6

Students that don't own a cellphone . . .  (24 - 6) = 18

Ratio of (students that do)  to  (students that do not)

         =         1/3 . 

How do I solve this? Number 11 -3(6) I have no idea

Answers

Multiply, negative 3 times positive 6, which equals negative 18. You have a negative product because you have one negative and one positive, if you had two negatives, then your product will become positive.
-3(6) = -18
