Diana has 1 square yard of fabric. She will make one pillow that requires three eighths square yard of fabric and another pillow that requires two eighths square yard of fabric. Diana uses the equations shown to explain her process to find the number of square yards of fabric she will use and the number of square yards of fabric she will have left.
three eighths plus two eighths equals five sixteenths square yard of fabric will be used.
one minus five sixteenths equals 16 sixteenths minus five sixteenths equals 11 sixteenths square yard of fabric will be left.
