Answer :
4inches = 1/3 of a foot (4inches x 3 = 12 inches) - so she can cut 3 out of each foot
1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard
18 x 9 = 162 pieces
1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard
18 x 9 = 162 pieces
we know that
[tex]1\ yard=36\ inches[/tex]
Step 1
Convert yards to inches
[tex]18\ yards=18*36=648\ inches[/tex]
Step 2
Divide the total inches of fabric by [tex]4[/tex] to obtain the number of pieces that Andrea can cut from the original place
so
[tex]\frac{648}{4}= 162\ pieces[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
[tex]162\ pieces[/tex]
