To find out how much 1 full yard costs, we use the unit rate method. Dividing the total price by the fraction of the yard purchased tells us the price of one full yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathematically, dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 5\/8 is 8\/5. So, $10 divided by 5\/8 becomes $10 \u00d7 8\/5, which equals $16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we know the price per yard, we multiply it by the number of yards Jasmine wants to buy for her quilt (4 yards). Multiplying $16 \u00d7 4 gives us $64.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, Jasmine should expect to pay <strong>$64<\/strong> for 4 yards of the same fabric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jasmine paid $10 for 5\/8 yard of fabric to make a pillow.
