John had 2 1/4 meter of felt and used only 3/12 of that for a costume. How many meters of felt did he use?

Answer: 0.5625 m

Step-by-step explanation:

2.25/12 * 3=0.5625

John used 0.5625 m or 56.25 cm of felt (more than half metre less than one metre)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/12 of 2 1/4 m

= 3/12 of 9/4

= 3/12 * 9/4

= 27/48

= 0.56 25m * 100 = 56.25 cm
