Problem

Solution

For this case we need to do the following conversion:

$523in^2\cdot(1yd^2)/((36in)^2)=0.404yd^2$
$1318in^2\cdot(1yd^2)/((36in)^2)=1.017yd^2$

And the total yards^2 are:

0.404 +1.017= 1.421 yd^2 rounding we got: 1.50 yd^2

Final answer

After round the correct answer would be:

the gray fabric : 0.50 square yards

The burgundy fabric: 1.25 square yars

total yards= 1.75 square yards
