Question

Alex finds a remnant of landscaping fabric at a garden store . The fabric is the standard width , with length 9.7 m . Alex needs twelve 0.85 - m pieces for a garden patio . a ) Will Alex have more fabric than she needs ? If so , how much more ? b ) Will Alex need more fabric ? If so , how much more ?

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that:

Length of remnant fabric = 9.7m

Number of 0.85m length needed for patio = 12

Total length needed = (0.85 * 12) = 10.2m

The length of fabric needed is more than the length of remnant fabric found ;

10.2 m - 9.7m = 0.5m

Hence, Alex will need 0.5m more fabric
