Question

Mrs. Taylor is making new football uniforms for Fridays nights homecoming game. The trim fro the sleeves of one uniform requires 26 inches of fabric. Mrs Taylor needs to make 63 uniforms total. How many yards of fabric should she buy?

Answer 1

Mrs Taylor should buy 45.5 yards of fabric ( 45.5364 actually but rounded to the nearest tenth)

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the total yards of fabric that Mrs Taylor should buy.

From the question, we are made to know that one uniform requires 26 inch of fabrics and she wants to make a total of 63 uniforms

The total inches of fabric needed is thus; 26 * 63 = 1,638 inches of Fabrics

But we want our answer in yards.

Mathematically;

1 inch = 0.0278 yard

1638 inches = x yard

x = 1638 * 0.0278 = 45.5364 yards which is approximately 45.5yards
