Respuesta :

4.5 x 4 = 18 
3.25 x 2 = 6.5 
In total you will need 24.5 yards of satin. 

Answer:

The total amount of satin required is 24.5 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Amount of satin needed to make 1 bridesmaid's dress = 4.5 yards

So, Amount of satin required to make 4 bridesmaid's dress = 4.5 × 4 = 18 yards

Also, Amount of satin needed to make 1 flower girl's dress = 3.25 yards

So, Amount of satin required to make 2 flower girl's dress = 3.25 × 2 = 6.5 yards

Hence, we get,

Total amount of satin = Satin for bridesmaid's dress + Satin for flower girl's dress

i.e. Total amount of satin = 18 + 6.5 = 24.5 yards

Hence, the total amount of satin required is 24.5 yards.
