Question

Audrina's curtain company is making curtains for a local hotel. She wants each curtain to be 48 inches long. At the fabric store, fabric is sold by the foot. If Audrina's curtain company wants to make 54 curtains, how many feet of fabric will she need?

Answer 1

Answer:

Audrina needs 216 feet long fabric to make 54 curtains.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of 1 curtain =  48 inches.

So, the length of 54 curtains = (48 x 54) inches

= 2592 inches.

So,  total fabric needed to make 54 curtains = 2592 inches.

Now 1 inch = 0.0833 foot

So, 2592 inches = (2592 x 0.0833) feet

= 215 . 91 feet  ≈  216 feet

So, Audrina needs 216 feet long fabric to make 54 curtains.
