Question

Fatima's curtain company is making curtains for a local hotel. She wants each curtain to be 48 inches long. At the fabric store, fabric is sold by the foot. If Fatima's curtain company wants to make 62 curtains, how many feet of fabric will she need? 1 inch= foot 4 - 12​

Answer 1

So, Fatima's curtain company needs to purchase 248 feet of fabric to make the curtains for the local hotel.

Explanation:

To find out how many feet of fabric Fatima's curtain company needs, we first need to calculate the total length of fabric required for all 62 curtains.

Each curtain is 48 inches long, so the total length of fabric required for one curtain is:

48 inches = (48/12) feet = 4 feet

Therefore, the total length of fabric required for 62 curtains is:

62 curtains x 4 feet/curtain = 248 feet of fabric

So, Fatima's curtain company needs to purchase 248 feet of fabric to make the curtains for the local hotel.
