The sum of the lengths of the tables and the total length of overhang
give the length of fabric that Devon needs.
Response:
- The total yards of fabric needed to make the table runners is<u> 12 yd</u>.
<h3>How can the given dimensions be added to obtain the length of fabric needed?</h3>
The given parameters are;
Length of the small tables = 6 feet
Length of the long tables = 10 feet
Length of overhang on each end = 8 inches
Number of small tables = 12
Number of long tables = 2 × 12 = 24
Required:
The yards of fabric needed to make the table runners.
Solution;
The total number of tables = 12 + 24 = 36
Length of overhang for each table = 8 inches + 8 inches = 16 inches
Sum of the length of the overhang = 36 × 16 inches = 576 inches
From the given unit conversion factors, we have;
Sum of the length of overhang = 576 inches ÷ 12 inch/feet = 48 feet
Length of the tables = 12 × 6 feet + 24 × 10 feet = 312 feet
Total length of table runner = 312 feet + 48 feet = 360 feet
Length of table runner needed = 360 feet ÷ 3 feet/yd = <u>120 yd.</u>
