Patricia needs 10 yards of fabric to make curtains for her bedroom she also needs 3 yards of fabric to make a cover for her storage bench Patricia has 15 feet of fabric how many more feet of fabric does she need

She needs an additional 24 feet of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we first need to calculate how many yards of fabric Patricia needs. This will be given by the sum of the fabric needed for the curtains and the fabric required to cover the storage bench. As seen bellow:

required fabric = 10 + 3 = 13 yards

We need to convert this value to feets, so the units are the same. To do that we multiply by 3.

required fabric = 13*3 = 39 feet

To know how many more fabric she needs we have to subtract the required fabric for the task by the total she already has. This is shown bellow:

needed fabric = 39 - 15 = 24 feet

She needs an additional 24 feet of fabric.
