1. You have that:
- The new client who needs 4 drapes.
- Each dreape will need to be 8 feet by 5 feet. Therefore, the perimeter will be:
P1=8 ft+8 ft+5 ft+5 ft
P1=26 ft
- You must add an additional 6 inches on top and bottom. Therfore, the perimeter will be:
1 inch=0.0833 ft
6 inches=0.499 ft≈0.50 ft
P2= 2(0.50 ft++0.50 ft+8 ft+8 ft)
P2=34 ft
- Thefore, the total perimeter of the drape will be:
Pt=26 ft+34 ft
Pt=60 ft
- The perimeter of 4 drapes will be:
=60 ftx4
=240 ft
- The problem says that the store only has 6 linear yards of material. Therefore:
6 yards=18 ft
The answer is: It is not enough to make all drapes, because you need 240 ft of material and the store only has 18 ft.
