Question

Three girls share 8 yards of fabric equally. How many yards of fabric does each girl get?

Answer 1

`2.dot6` or `2 2/3` yards

Explanation:

This question requires a bit of simple division. We have three girls that we need to share the 8 yards of fabric between so you just divide `8` by `3`.

A useful method for this is the bus stop method.

So the answer is `2.dot6`

However, you could just leave it as a fraction.
`8/3 = 2` with a remainder of `2`
So an alternative way of writing it is `2 2/3` yards each.

Hope this helps; let me know if I can do anything else:)
