Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the amount per shirt and number of shirts

Each shirt needs $\frac{1}{5}$ yard of fabric and there are 3 shirts.

Step2: Calculate total fabric

To find the total fabric, we add the amount of fabric for each shirt. So we have $\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}$. When adding fractions with the same denominator, we add the numerators and keep the denominator. So $\frac{1 + 1+1}{5}=\frac{3}{5}$.

Answer:

B. $\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{3}{5}$
