50 0/5 pts 399 Emily is making a quilt and she has determined she needs 523 square inches of gray fabric and 1318 square inches of burgundy. How many square yards of each material will she need? Round your answers up to the nearest quarter yard. The gray fabric: square yards The burgundy fabric: square yards How many total yards of fabric will she have to buy? square yards

Answer 1

There are 1296 square inches in a square yard

To convert those units, let's use rules of three

For the gray fabric:

Therefore,

$x=\frac{523\times1}{1296}\rightarrow x=0.40yd^2$

Rounded to the nearest quarter yard,

$0.5yd^2\rightarrow\frac{1}{2}yd^2$

For the burgundy:

Therefore,

$y=\frac{1318\times1}{1296}\rightarrow y=1.02yd^2$

Rounded to the nearest quarter yard,

$y=1yd^2$

Therefore, she'll have to buy

$1\text{ }\frac{1}{2}yd^2$

in total
