Answer:

7 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

length of square pieces of fabric = 1/4 foot

Doris used 8 of these piece so total fabric used

  8 (l²)

= 1/2 foot²

1 scarf area =  1/2 foot²

7 scarf area = 7* 1/2 foot²

                    = 7/2 foot²

When Doris uses piece of fabric that is 1/4 by 2 foot

area of one piece of that fabric = 2 * 1/4

                                                    = 2/4

                                                    = 1/2foot²

So,

number of pieces required to make 7 scarfs = (7/2) / (1/2)

                                                                             = 7  pieces
