To find the total cost of the fabric, you will indeed need to multiply. Here is how you can calculate it:
First, multiply the number of yards (3.25) by the cost per yard ($5.87). This will give you the cost for each yard of fabric.
3.25 yards * $5.87/yard = $19.07
So, the cost of 3.25 yards of fabric at $5.87 per yard is $19.07.
