Question

the directions on a sewing pattern say to cut an extra 15% of fabric to account for error. chloe needs 0.75 yard of fabric to make a skirt, and she cuts 0.1125 yard. did chloe cut the correct amount of fabric? why or why not? chloe cut enough fabric because she cut the amount of fabric for the skirt. chloe cut enough fabric because she cut enough fabric for the skirt and the amount of extra fabric. chloe did not cut enough fabric because she only cut the amount of fabric for the skirt.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate required extra fabric

First, find 15% of 0.75 yard, which is the required extra fabric.
$\text{Required extra} = 0.15 \times 0.75 = 0.1125$ yard

Step2: Compare cut vs required extra

Chloe cut 0.1125 yard, which matches the calculated required extra fabric.

Step3: Verify total fabric check

Total needed fabric is $0.75 + 0.1125 = 0.8625$ yard. Since Chloe cut the exact required extra, she has enough for the skirt plus the error allowance.

Answer:

Chloe cut enough fabric because she cut the amount of fabric for the skirt and the amount of extra fabric.
