ReplyDeleteHer quilt will cost 4384.75
9\3 =3 3x4.75 =14.25
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you both gave it a try, but unfortunately neither of you are correct. You both had great ideas - Lucas you knew to divide 9 feet by 3 to get 3 yarrds, and Patrick you knew to find the area length x width. If you both put your ideas together you would come up with the correct answer.
ReplyDelete9 feet divided by 3 gives you 3 yards,
3 yards x 3 yards gives you 9 square yards.
$4.75 x 9 square yards = $42.75
