Answer:

Cassie has:

  • 63.1 yards of fabric.

Explanation:

This case is really simple and I will explain why, it turns out that although at the beginning they mention that Cassie wants to make some curtains with the yellow and green fabric, they do not give you proportions of how much fabric of each color each one should wear, but simply mention the total fabric, therefore, you should only make a sum as shown below:

  • Total green and yellow fabric = 28.85 yards + 34.25 yards = 63.1 yards.
