A pattern requires 4 yards of fabric to sew 2 pillows. How many yards of fabric are needed to sew 8 pilows.

Question

This is an 8th grade review but I'm not sure what to do

Answer 1

two pillows take 4 yds of fabric

so 4 pillows take 8 yds and

so 8 pillows take 16 yds.

 

What to do?  MULTIPLY the basic data by four because 8 pillows is FOUR times the basic 2 pillows.
