Question

A home-decorating company is determining the amount of fabric required for a customer's window treatments. A single window requires 12 2/3 yards and a double window requires 17 5/6 yards of fabric. If there are two single windows and one double window, how much fabric is required?

Answer 1

Answer:

$43\frac{1}{6} \:yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :-

Amount of fabric required for :-

• a single window = $12\frac{2}{3} = \frac{38}{3} \:yards$
• a double window = $17\frac{5}{6} = \frac{107}{6} \: yards$

TO FIND :-

Amount of fabric required for two single windows and one double windows.

SOLUTION :-

Amount of fabric required for two single windows = $2(\frac{38}{3} ) = \frac{76}{3} \:yards$

Amount of fabric required for 2 single & 1 double window =  $\frac{76}{3} + \frac{107}{6}$

                                                                                                =  $\frac{152+107}{6}$

                                                                                                =   $\frac{259}{6}$

                                                                                                =  $43\frac{1}{6} \:yards$
