Question

If you were going to make a curtain for a window that was two and a half feet wide and three and a half feet high, what size would your piece of fabric need to be? Add a half foot to both the length and the width to account for seams and give your answer in yards.

Answer 1

add 0.5 to each side so you have fabric for the seams and your new numbers are 3 ft and 4 ft

find the area by multiplying 3*4 and get 12 ft

1 yard = 3 feet

12/3= 4 yards

You would need 4 square yards of fabric
