Question

Ingrid's curtain company is making curtains for a local hotel. She wants each curtain to be 36 inches long. At the fabric store, fabric is sold by the foot. If Ingrid's curtain company wants to make 64 curtains, how many feet of fabric will she need? 1 inch = 1 12 foot I just don't get it

Answer 1

192 ft

Explanation:

Number of curtains = 64

Length of each curtains = 36 inches

Total length of curtains = Number of curtains × Length of each curtains

= 64 × 36 inches

= 2,304 inches

1 inch = 1/12 foot

2,304 inches = 2,304 / 12 ft

2,304 inches = 192 ft

She will need 192 ft of the fabric to make 64 curtains each of length 36 inches
