A plant manager needs 75 sq. yds. of fabric and the fabric is only 32 in. wide. How many linear feet must she make to produce 75 sq. yds.?

Respuesta :

253.12  ........................

Answer: 253.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the fabric is 32 inches, or 0.89 yards (32/36). To get 75 square yards, multiply the length x width (0.89 x l = 75). Solve for l. l = 75/0.89 = 84.37 yards. However the question asks for feet, so this must be multiplied by 3, to get

253.12 feet.
