    1. You have that:

    - The new client who needs 4 drapes.

    - Each dreape will need to be 8 feet by 5 feet. Therefore, the perimeter will be:

    P1=8 ft+8 ft+5 ft+5 ft

    P1=26 ft

    - You must add an additional 6 inches on top and bottom. Therfore, the perimeter will be:

    1 inch=0.0833 ft

    6 inches=0.499 ft ≈0.50 ft

    P2 = 2 (0.50 ft++0.50 ft+8 ft+8 ft)

    P2=34 ft

    - Thefore, the total perimeter of the drape will be:

    Pt=26 ft+34 ft

    Pt=60 ft

    - The perimeter of 4 drapes will be:

    =60 ftx4

    =240 ft

    - The problem says that the store only has 6 linear yards of material. Therefore:

    6 yards=18 ft

    The answer is: It is not enough to make all drapes, because you need 240 ft of material and the store only has 18 ft.
