+44 You are making a photo quilt by transferring photos to squares of fabric. Each square can be big enough so that you can turn over an edge 5/8 inch long on each side and have a finished square with a side length of 5 3/4 inches.
a. What are the dimensions of each fabric square?
b. How many square inches of fabric do you need if you want to include 48 squares?
c. The fabric you buy is 36 inches wide. How long a piece of fabric do you need?
d. You buy a piece of fabric that has the length you found in part (c). Once you've cut all the squares, how many square inches of fabric are left over?
My Honors Algebra teacher is k*****g me with these word problems...this one i just totally didn't understand one word...I really appreciate you guys helping me
+4473 a. Since you're turning over the edge each side --> 2*5/8 = 10/8 in.
10/8 in. + 5 3/4 in. = ? in.
b. Based on the number you found in part a. --> ?^2 * 48 = # square in.
c. How many full squares can you make with ? in. dimensions given the restriction of 36 in. wide? That'll be the number of squares you can fit per row. Now, take that number of full squares and see how many rows you would need to have 48 squares.
d. How many squares are left over. Let s = # of squares left over. So, s(?^2) will be your answer.
