Posted by marko on Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 8:55pm.

I have to answer the follwoing question:
Jades mother was making curtains for the dining room. She use 37 3/4 yards of fabric for the curtain panels. 13 2/7 yards of fabric for the valance. and 6ft 2in. of cord for the tiebacks. HOW many yards of fabric did she use to make the curatins and valance?

i got a ttl of 57 1/28 yards
37 3/4 = 37 21/28
+ 14 2/7 = 13 8/28

ttl: 56 29/28 = 1 1/28
= ttl: 57 1/28 yards

is this right??
