To make curtains for a living room window for a customer, you will need three pieces of fabric in the following lengths: 3 feet, 3 feet, and 5 feet. What is the total length of fabric you will need?
A. 8 feet B. 11 feet C. 14 feet D. 30 feet E. 45 feet
Let's solve this problem step-by-step, keeping in mind that we're trying to find the total length of fabric needed to make curtains for a living room window.
1. Identify the lengths of each piece of fabric needed: - Piece 1: 3 feet - Piece 2: 3 feet - Piece 3: 5 feet
2. Calculate the total length of fabric by summing these individual lengths: - Total length = Length of Piece 1 + Length of Piece 2 + Length of Piece 3 - Total length = 3 feet + 3 feet + 5 feet
3. Add these values together: - Total length = 3 + 3 + 5
4. Find the sum: - Total length = 11 feet
Therefore, the total length of fabric you will need is 11 feet.
