Callie has 4 yards of white fabric .Callie uses the white fabric to make baby blankets .she needs 28 inches of fabric for each blanket .she says she has enough fabric to make 5 blankets , Is Callie correct? EXPLAIN

Answer 1

What you'll have to do first is to convert everything to the same unit.

1 yard = 3 feet, and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So, 4 yards = 12 feet = 144 inches.

She has 144 inches of white fabric.

1 blanket needs 28 inches of fabric, which means 5 blankets need 140 inches.

Therefore, yes, she does have enough fabric.

Answer 2

4 YARDS = 4 x36 inches = 144 inches

She need 28 x 5 = 140 inches for 5 blankets so she has enough
