Answer:

2 1/6 yards

Explanation:

Nina made 14 curtains of the same length out of 30 1/3 yards of fabric. What is the length of the curtain?

14 curtains = 30 1/3 yards

1 curtain = x yard

Cross Multiply

14 curtains × x yard = 30 1/3 yards × 1 curtain

x yards = 30 1/3 yards × 1 curtain /14 curtains

x yards = 30 1/3 yards /14

x yards = 30 1/3 ÷ 14

x yards = 91/3 × 1/14

x yards = 91/42

x yards = 2 7/42

x yards = 2 1/6 yards

Therefore, the length of the curtain is 2 1/6 yards
