Answer: 171/4, and 14.25
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by first finding the area of each piece of fabric. Area is width multiplied by height, so:
3 * (4+3/4) = 57/4
We can multiply our answer by 3 again to find the total area.
57/4 * 3 = 171/4
To find the fabric as a decimal, we can first put it as a mixed fraction
[tex]14\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
This becomes 14.25
