Answer: [tex]20\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ Yards}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Anna wants to make 4 sets of curtains
The requirement of fabric for each set =[tex]5\dfrac{1}{8}\text{ yards}[/tex]
Here, [tex]5\dfrac{1}{8}\text{ yards}=\dfrac{5\times8+1}{8}\text{ yards}=\dfrac{41}{8}\text{ yards}[/tex]
For 4 sets , the total requirement of fabric will be :_
[tex]4\times\dfrac{41}{8}\text{ Yards}\\\\=\dfrac{41}{2}\text{ Yards}\\\\=20\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ Yards}[/tex]
Hence, she needs [tex]20\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ Yards}[/tex] fabric.
