Question

Kyle is making a quilt and he has determined he needs 497 square inches of gray fabric and 746 square inches of yellow. How many square yards of each material will he need? Round your answers up to the nearest quarter yard.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 0.38 yard² of gray material
• 0.58 yard² of yellow.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard is about 36 inches.

A square yard in square inches will therefore be:

= 36 * 36

= 1,296 inch²

He needs 497 square inches of gray fabric. In square yards that will be:

= 497/1,296

= 0.38 yard² of gray material

He needs 746 square inches of yellow:

= 746/1,296

= 0.58 yard² of yellow.
