Interior designer

To make draperies, an interior designer needs 11 1/4 yards of material for the den and 8 1/2 yards for the living room. If material comes only in 20-yard bolts, how much will be left over after completing both draperies?

Correct answer:

x =  1/4 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

a=1141=11+41=411 4+1=444+1=445=11.25 yd b=821=8+21=28 2+1=216+1=217=8.5 yd c=a+b=445+217=445+434=445+34=479=19.75 yd  c < 20  yd  x=20c=20479=420 4479=480479=48079=41=41 yd=0.25 yd
