Explanation:
We know that the seamstress banner is 2 yards long and 36 inches wide.
First we express the lengths in the same units.
We know that
1 yard = 36 inches.
So the length is 2 yards and the width is 1 yard
To know how much fabric the seamstress should cover, calculate the area of the banner.
Assuming the banner is rectangular, then the area of a rectangle is:
![A = W * L](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/oyiw01qct99wq8wddgc4p1nmslwwgpyua4.png)
Where W is the width and L is the length of the rectangle.
