Calculating the Number of Napkins Mahalia Can Make

How many napkins can Mahalia make if each napkin is 1 foot by 1 foot?

Options:
A. 21

Final answer:

Mahalia can make 216 napkins using the fabric, which is 12 inches wide and 6 yards long.

To determine the number of napkins Mahalia can make, we first need to convert the fabric length into feet. Since there are 3 feet in a yard, the fabric length in feet is 6 yards x 3 feet/yard = 18 feet.

Next, we calculate the area of each napkin. Since each napkin has dimensions of 1 foot by 1 foot, the area of each napkin is 1 foot x 1 foot = 1 square foot.

To find the number of napkins, we divide the fabric area (18 feet x 12 inches) by the napkin area (1 square foot): 18 x 12 = 216 square feet. Therefore, Mahalia can make 216 napkins.
