Apattern calls for 2 1/4 yards of material and 1 1/4 yards of lining. how much total fabric is needed

=2 1/4 + 1 1/4
since the fractions have like denominators, we can add them together; add the base numbers (2+1); add the fractions

=3 2/4
simplify fraction by 2

=3 1/2 yards total

ANSWER: There are 3 1/2 yards of total fabric.
