Answer: She will need 142 ft of curtain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first we have to convert the length of the curtain from inches to foot.

Since 1 inch = 1/12ft

For 24 inches:

24 inches x 1/12 = 2 ft

Since the company wants to make 71 curtains, we have to multiply the length of each curtain (2ft) by 71.

2ft x 71 = 142ft

She will need 142 ft of curtain.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
