Question

bernadette is making a quilt. she needs 2 square yards of green fabric, 3 square yards of purple fabric and 12 square yards of white fabric. how many square feet of fabric is this in total? square feet

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total square yards

First, find the total square - yards of fabric. Add the amounts of each fabric: \(2 + 3+12\) square yards.
\(2 + 3+12=17\) square yards.

Step2: Convert square yards to square feet

Since \(1\) square yard \( = 9\) square feet (because \(1\) yard \(=3\) feet, and \((3\text{ ft})\times(3\text{ ft}) = 9\text{ ft}^2\)).
Multiply the total number of square yards by \(9\). So, \(17\times9\).
\(17\times9=(10 + 7)\times9=10\times9+7\times9=90 + 63=153\).

Answer:

\(153\)
