Ana is making some throw pillows. She needs one 1 1/8 yards gold fabric, 2 1/4 yards of green fabric, and 4 1/2 yards of red fabric. How much more red fabric does she need than gold and green fabric?

Answer 1

4 and 1/2 - ( 1 and 1/8 + 2 and 1/4) =

9/2 - ( 9/8 + 9/4) =

9/2 - ( 9/8 + 18/8) =

9/2 - 27/8 =

36/8 - 27/8 =

9/8 =

1 and 1/8
