Answer:

220 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of each curtain = 48 inches

Number of curtains required for Abby's curtain company = 55

Fabric of curtains is sold by the fabric store foot by foot.

Unit for conversion:

1 inch = \frac{1}{12} foot

To find:

The fabric (in feet) needed by Abby.

Solution:

First of all, let us convert the length of each curtain (which is given in inches) to feet.

As per given hint:

1 inch = \frac{1}{12} foot

48 inches = \frac{1}{12} \times 48 ft = 4 ft

So, length of one curtain is 4 ft.

Now, number of curtains required are 55.

Therefore, total length of curtains required can be found by multiplying the number of curtains with the length of one curtain.

Total length of curtain required = 55 \times 4 = <em>220 ft</em>
