Question

A plant manager needs 75 sq. yds. of fabric and the fabric is only 32 in. wide. How many linear feet must she make to produce 75 sq. yds.?

Answer 1

Using the basic formula, we can just plug in the numbers.


`l= (a)/(w)`

`a=75`
We'll change 32 inches to yards.

`w= (32)/(36) =0.89`
Now plug the given information into the formula...

`l-(75)/(0.89)`
Solve for
`l`

Answer 2

352.12 i thank because 75 times 32 =352.12
