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

`43(1)/(6) \:yards`

Explanation:

GIVEN :-

Amount of fabric required for :-

• a single window =
  `12(2)/(3) = (38)/(3) \:yards`
• a double window =
  `17(5)/(6) = (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((38)/(3) ) = (76)/(3) \:yards`

Amount of fabric required for 2 single & 1 double window =
`(76)/(3) + (107)/(6)`

=
`(152+107)/(6)`

=
`(259)/(6)`

=
`43(1)/(6) \:yards`
