Answer:

11.75

Explanation:

The quilt consists of a square array of 8 x 8 = <<8*8=64>>64 square pieces of fabric.

Since the length of the total quilt is 7.52 feet, the side length of each square piece of fabric is 7.52 / 8 = <<752/8=0.94>>0.94 feet.

However, since you are asked to enter your answer in the box in feet, you should express 0.94 feet as a decimal to the nearest hundredth. The nearest hundredth of a foot to 0.94 feet is 0.95 feet. Therefore, the side length of each square piece of fabric is approximately 0.95 feet, or approximately 11.75 inches.

So the answer is 11.75 feet.
