\text{Answer: }46(2)/(7)\text{ yards is needed to make 9 pillow covers.}

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Material needed to make a pillow cover is given by


5(1)/(7)\ yards=(36)/(7)\ yards

We need to calculate the material which will be needed to make 9 pillows covers.

So, we use the "Multiplication Operation" as we need the value for more pillow covers :


9* (36)/(7)\\\\=(324)/(7)\\\\=46(2)/(7)\ yards


\text{Hence, }46(2)/(7)\text{ yards is needed to make 9 pillow covers.}
