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

Adding and Subtracting with
Unlike Denominators
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.
