Annita is sewing a lace edge around a rectangular quilt. She will need 164 inches of lace to do the entire quilt. If the quilt is 48 inches wide, how long is the quilt?
A.
32 inches
B.
82 inches
C.
34 inches
D.
68 inches
B. 82 inches
To find the length of the quilt, you would use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is 2(length) + 2(width). We know that the width is 48 inches and the total lace needed is 164 inches, so:
164 = 2(length) + 2(48)
164 = 2(length) + 96
2(length) = 68
length = 34 inches
Therefore, the length of the quilt is 34 inches.
