Math Academy

Due Monday, October 15th

My grandmother, Carla, is a really good seamstress. Next week, Carla plans on making a skirt, vest and a jacket.  Currently, she has 4 and 3/4 yards of material.  If the skirt requires: 1 and ¾ yards of material, the jacket requires 2 and 7/16 yards, and the vest requires 5/8 yards -  1) Does Carla have enough material?  2)  How do you know this? Be sure to use your initials and clearly label your comment.
