Re: The fabric needed to make 3 curtains sells for $8.00 per yar [#permalink] 18 Jan 2016, 15:20 Expert's post Solution Since 1.6 yards of fabric are required for each curtain, it follows that (3)(1.6), or 4.8, yards of fabric are required to make the 3 curtains. The fabric can be purchased only by the full yard, so 5 yards of fabric would need to be purchased. Since the fabric sells for$8.00 per yard, the total cost of the fabric is $40.00. The correct answer is $$A.$$ _________________ Target Test Prep Representative Status: Head GRE Instructor Affiliations: Target Test Prep Joined: 09 May 2016 Posts: 161 Location: United States Followers: 4 Kudos [?]: 117 [1] , given: 0 Re: The fabric needed to make 3 curtains sells for$8.00 per yar [#permalink]  19 Jul 2018, 15:57

The total length of 3 curtains is 3 x 1.6 = 4.8 yards, so 5 yards will be needed, and 5 yards of fabric cost 5 x 8 = 40 dollars.
