Question

Jennifer has 84.5 of fabric to make curtains. She makes 6 identical curtains and has 19.7 yards of fabric remaining. How many feet of fabric does Jennifer use per curtain.

Answer 1

10.8 yards

Explanation:

84.5 - 19.7 = 64.8

64.8 / 6 = 10.8 yards

Jennifer can use 10.8 yards per curtain.

Answer 2

Answer: 10.8 yards

Explanation:

Given: Total fabric Jennifer has = 84.5 yards

Total identical curtains she made = 6

Remaining fabric = 19.7 yards

Thus, fabric used fro 6 curtains =
`84.5-19.7=64.8\ yards`

Now, fabric she use for each curtain =
`(64.8)/(6)` yards

Thus, fabric she use for each curtain= 10.8 yards

Hence, Jennifer use 10.8 yards fabric per curtain.
