    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.

    24 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    According to the question, 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

    So, she needs 13 yards

    converting into feet

    1 yard = 3 feet

    13 yards x 3 = 39 feet

    Now, she already has 15 feet of fabric.

    Finding out the difference : 39 - 15 = 24 feet

    Therefore, she needs 24 feet more of fabric
