Question

It takes 2.5 yards of material to make a dress. Harley's Clothing Design estimates that they can produce 48 dresses each week. If there are 52 weeks in a year, how much material will they need to purchase to make dresses for a year?

6,240 yards
150 yards
5,910 yards
2,704 yards

Answer 1

6240

Explanation:

Amount of material it takes to make 1 dress = 2.5 yards

Amount of dresses Harley's Clothing Design will produce each week = 48 dresses

Number of weeks in 1 year = 52

2.5*48= 120

120 yards of material used in 48 dresses in one week.

120*52=6240

Therefore, the store will need to purchase 6240 yards of material in order to produce 48 dresses per week for 52 weeks, which is about 1 year.

Hope this helps!
