Betty is making 6 skirts. Each skirt uses 2/3 of a yard. How many yards does she need?

She needs 4 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply fractions, you just multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction.

The numerator is the top number of a fraction.

The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction.

You can think of the whole number 6 as the fraction 6/1.

Multiply 6/1 by 2/3

6x2=12

1x3=3

So, 6/1x2/3=12/3

Now you need to simplify the fraction

Because the numerator is a muliple (number that can be devided by) of 3, devide the numerator by the denominator.

12÷3=4

y - y1 = m(x- x1)

y - (-5) = 2/3(x -0)

y + 5 = 2/3x

y = 2/3x - 5
