Answer:

<h2>Choice C.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We now that Brian wants the piece of fabric between 49 and 53 inches, this range is expressed like this

$49$

Now, to choose the right answer, we have to transform the from feet to inches and see which one falls into this interval.

<h3>Choice A.</h3>

We know that 1 ft equals 12 in. If we have $4\frac{3}{4}=\frac{19}{4} ft$ , how much inches would be?

$\frac{19}{4}ft\frac{12in}{1ft}=57in$

As you can see, the choice A is not the right answer because is more than 53.

<h3>Choice B.</h3>

We do the same process. We know that, $4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}ft$ how much inches would be?

$\frac{9}{2}ft\frac{12in}{1ft}=54in$

Choice B is not the answer neither, because it's outside the interval.

<h3>Choice C.</h3>

$4\frac{1}{4}=\frac{17}{4}ft$ how much inches would be?

$\frac{17}{4}ft\frac{12in}{1ft}=51in$

As you can observe, choice C is in the interval. Therefore, the right answer is choice C, because 51 inches is between 49 and 53 inches.
