Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate material for feet and paws

The problem states that the feet require 2/4 yard and the paws require 2/4 yard. Adding these gives 2/4 + 2/4 = 4/4 = 1 yard.

Step 2: Calculate material for hood and ears

The hood requires 4/6 yard and the ears require 1/3 yard. To add these, we need a common denominator. Since 1/3 = 2/6, we have 4/6 + 2/6 = 6/6 = 1 yard.

Step 3: Calculate total material for the costume

The body requires 3 7/8 yards. The ears, hood, paws, and feet combined require 1 + 1 = 2 yards. Adding the body material to the other materials, we get 3 7/8 + 2 = 5 7/8 yards.

Final Answer

  1. 1 yard
  2. 1 yard
  3. 5 7/8 yards
