Answer:

Amanda has 17.7 yards of silk left

Explanations:

The total yards of silk material that Amanda has = 25 yards

Number of yards required for the skirt = 18/17 yards

Number of yards required for the dress = 11/12

Number of yards required for the shirt = 7/4

Number of yards required for the pants = 25/7

Total number of yards required to make the piece = 18/17 + 11/12 + 7/4 + 25/7

Total number of yards required to make the piece = 7.3 yards

Yards of silk that Amanda has left = (Total yards of silk that she has) - (yards required to make the piece )

Yards of silk that Amanda has left = 25 - 7.3

Yards of silk that Amanda has left = 17.7 yards
