Answer:
C. 24 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total length of fabric required for the costume = 56.6 m
Length of fabric Zhou already has = 15 m
Length of fabric James just purchased = 17.6 m
To find how much more length of fabric is required to make the complete costume.
Solution:
Let the length of fabric in meters still required be = [tex]x[/tex]
The total length can be given as :
⇒ [tex](15+17.6+x)\ m[/tex]
⇒ [tex](32.6+x)\ m[/tex]
The total fabric required = 56.6 m
So, the equation to find [tex]x[/tex] will be:
[tex]32.6+x=56.6[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 32.6
[tex]32.6+x-32.6=56.6-32.6[/tex]
∴ [tex]x=24[/tex]
Thus, 24 meters of fabric is still required to make the costume.
