Help me this question part 2

$${\mathtt{142}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right) = {\frac{{\mathtt{71}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}} = {\mathtt{35.5}}$$  yards of cloth.

She has 142 strips

Each covers ¹/₄ of a yard

The total amount of cloth in yards will be how many strips she has, multiplied by the number of yards per cloth.

Total yards of cloth = 142 * ¹/₄ = 35 ¹/₂ = 35.5
