How many 4 inch pieces can she get?

Answer 2

Answer:

162 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

a yard = 3 feets and a feet = 12 inches.

therefore a yard  =3*12=36 inches

so,

18 yards = 36 inches *18 = 648 inches.

now, how many 4 inches pieces?

total pieces= total size of  fabric divide by size of piece needed

therefore

total pieces=648/4 = 162 pieces.
