Answer: \(20\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ Yards}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Anna wants to make 4 sets of curtains
The requirement of fabric for each set =\(5\dfrac{1}{8}\text{ yards}\)
Here, \(5\dfrac{1}{8}\text{ yards}=\dfrac{5\times8+1}{8}\text{ yards}=\dfrac{41}{8}\text{ yards}\)
For 4 sets , the total requirement of fabric will be :_
\(4\times\dfrac{41}{8}\text{ Yards}\\\\=\dfrac{41}{2}\text{ Yards}\\\\=20\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ Yards}\)
Hence, she needs \(20\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ Yards}\) fabric.
