Question

Emma's curtain company is making curtains for a local hotel. She wants each curtain to be 24 inches long. At the fabric store, fabric is sold by the foot. If Emma's curtain company wants to make 68 curtains, how many feet of fabric will she need? 1 inch = 1 12 foot

Answer 1

136 feet

Explanation:

Each curtain needs to be 24 inches long and we know 1 feet = 12 feet.

So 24 inches = 12*2 = 1*2 = 2 feet.

Each curtain is 2 ft.

So 68 curtains would be 68 * 2 = 136 feet.

Hence, 136 feet of fabric will be needed.
