Mark Nguyen is a tailor making costumes for a play. He needs enough material for:

- 1 large shirt that requires \(\frac{11}{2}\) yards of material
- 5 small shirts that each require \(\frac{3}{4}\) yard of material

He finds a remnant of material on sale that is 5 yards. Is 5 yards of material enough to make all 6 shirts? If not, how much more material does he need?

So he needs 6 shirts total, (5×(3/4))+(1×(11/2)) so basically (15/4)+(11/2) to add these, get a common denominator and you'll get your answer...

To make all six shirts, Mark requires 5 1/4 yards of material. As he only has 5 yards, he will need to purchase an additional 1/4 yard. ;

Mark needs a total of 9.25 yards of material to make all six shirts, but he only has 5 yards. Therefore, he needs an additional 4.25 yards. In conclusion, 5 yards is not sufficient for his needs.
