Question

Scaling Up Fabric Amounts This fabric list makes one Crazy Quilt. But you and a group of your friends are doing a service project and want to make 300 quilts. How much of each type of fabric will you need?

Answer 1

So, the final amount of fabric needed is given by:

Red Silk =
`1556_(4)^(1)`

Blue Denim =
`1462_(2)^(1)`

Yellow Satin =
`1837_(2)^(1)`

Cotton Blend =
`1125`

Purple Felt =
`1293_(4)^(3)`

Explanation:

We are provided with the amount of fabric needed to make ONE quilt.

i.e. Red Silk =
`(83)/(16)`

Blue Denim =
`(39)/(8)`

Yellow Satin =
`(49)/(8)`

Cotton Blend =
`(15)/(4)`

Purple Felt =
`(69)/(16)`

It is required to find the amount of fabric needed to make 300 quilts i.e. we need to multiply the given amount of fabric with 300.

So, the final amount of fabric needed is given by:

Red Silk =
`1556_(4)^(1)`

Blue Denim =
`1462_(2)^(1)`

Yellow Satin =
`1837_(2)^(1)`

Cotton Blend =
`1125`

Purple Felt =
`1293_(4)^(3)`
