  5. 1 3 A pattern for a double-circle skirt requires 9 yards of 45-inch-wide material. To add a ruffle takes another 2 yards. If the total amount of material for the skirt and ruffle are cut from a bolt of fabric 15 yards long, how much fabric is left? 2 5 1 2

  6. To solve this problem, add and subtract rational numbers with unlike denominators. First find a common denominator using one of the following methods: Method 1 Find a common denominator by multiplying one denominator by the other denominator. Method 2 Find the least common denominator (LCD); the least common multiple of the denominators.
