To find the number of square yards of each material Maximiliano will need, we can use the following conversion factor: 1 square yard = 1296 square inches.

For the burgundy fabric, we can divide the total square inches by 1296 to get the number of square yards:

474 square inches / 1296 square inches per yard = 0.37 yards
Rounded up to the nearest quarter yard, Maximiliano will need 0.5 yards of burgundy fabric.

For the green fabric, we can follow the same process:

456 square inches / 1296 square inches per yard = 0.35 yards
Rounded up to the nearest quarter yard, Maximiliano will need 0.5 yards of green fabric.

To find the total yards of fabric Maximiliano will need, we can add the yards of each material:

0.5 yards + 0.5 yards = 1 yard

Therefore, Maximiliano will need 0.5 yards of burgundy fabric, 0.5 yards of green fabric, and a total of 1 yard of fabric.
