$${\mathtt{142}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right) = {\frac{{\mathtt{71}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}} = {\mathtt{35.5}}$$ 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/= 35.5
