Convert the mixed number to inches. 3 feet 8 inches = 44 inches (12 inches per foot x 3 feet= 36 inches + 8 inches= 44 inches). 44 inches (length each section needs to be) x 4 (number of sections needed)=176 inches (total molding needed). To determine the amount of molding needed in feet, convert 176 inches into feet by dividing 176 inches by 12 inches. You get 14 2/3 feet, so the shortest board length is 15 feet.

Answer:

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W)

where:

  • L is the length of the rectangle
  • W is the width of the rectangle

∵ The baby blanket shaped a rectangle

∵ The dimensions of the blanket are 3 feet and 5 feet

- Find the area of the blanket

∵ A = 3 × 5 = 15 feet²

- Change feet to yard because the cost is by square yard

∵ 1 foot = \frac{1}{3} yard

∴ 1 foot² = (\frac{1}{3})^{2}=\frac{1}{9} yard²

∴ 15 feet² = 15 × (\frac{1}{9}) = \frac{5}{3} yards²

∴ The area of the blanket is  \frac{5}{3} yards²

∵ The fabric cost of the blanket is $1.25 per square yard

∴ The fabric cost =  \frac{5}{3} × 1.25

∴ The fabric cost = 2.08333 dollars

∵ Heather is going to put a ribbon border around it

- The length of the ribbon is equal to the perimeter of the blanket

∵ P = 2(3 + 5) = 16 feet

∴ The length of the ribbon is 16 feet

∵ The cost of the ribbon is $0.5 per foot

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 16 × 0.5

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 8 dollars

Now add the fabric cost to the ribbon cost to find the total cost of the blanket

∵ The total cost = 2.08333 + 8

∴ The total cost = 10.08333

- Round it to the nearest cent

∴ The total cost = 10.08 dollars

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08
