Round your answers up to the nearest quarter yard. The gray fabric: square yards square yards The burgundy fabric: How many total yards of fabric will she have to buy? square yards

Answer 1

Problem

Solution

For this case we need to do the following conversion:

`523in^2\cdot(1yd^2)/((36in)^2)=0.404yd^2`
`1318in^2\cdot(1yd^2)/((36in)^2)=1.017yd^2`

And the total yards^2 are:

0.404 +1.017= 1.421 yd^2 rounding we got: 1.50 yd^2

Final answer

After round the correct answer would be:

the gray fabric : 0.50 square yards

The burgundy fabric: 1.25 square yars

total yards= 1.75 square yards
