Math Question for Math Genius Freepers :)
just me dudes | 11/02/2018 | beergarden

Hi. Time for a non-political break from the usual anti-lib articles which we all love here. I have a math question for my genius Freepers because I know conservatives are smarter than idiot liberals so the question is " how many stupid liberals does it take to screw a light bulb?

ANSWER: None, they think the light bulb will lead to climate change (drum beat)

OK, that's not it (j/k) but here it is: I have a relative (self-made/taught/ no HS diploma but makes more than I do) who sells on an online platform like Ebay. She will sell fabrics online because she owns a store.

Fact: a yard of fabric is 36 x 60.

She will sell 1/4, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 yards. What are the parameters and measurements allowed for each of the 4 measurements?

So if she has a 17 x 42 piece as an example, what will it be under?

Just asking.

Are all fabric bolts 60” wide? I thought there were variances.”””

You are correct. There are different widths in yardage. Especially wool. Some are 60” & some are 54”. I used to do alot of sewing & I always had to recheck what yardage I would need. NOT all bolts are marked, either, I learned that MY handspan was about 8 1/2 inches, so I used that to help me make sure I didn’t screw up.
