13. Alicia measured \( \frac{1}{4} \) yard of the Blue Diamonds fabric and \( \frac{5}{6} \) yard of the Yellow Bonnets fabric to make a quilt. Rename each length of fabric Use the number of inches in a yard as a comm denominator. HINT: 1 yard \( =3 \) feet; 1 foot \( =12 \) inches

To rename each length of fabric using inches, first, we convert yards to inches. Since \(1\) yard equals \(36\) inches (because \(1\) yard \(=3\) feet and \(1\) foot \(=12\) inches, thus \(3 \times 12 = 36\) inches), we can proceed with the calculations. For the Blue Diamonds fabric, \( \frac{1}{4} \) yard is \( \frac{1}{4} \times 36 = 9 \) inches. For the Yellow Bonnets fabric, \( \frac{5}{6} \) yard is \( \frac{5}{6} \times 36 = 30 \) inches. So, Alicia has \(9\) inches of Blue Diamonds and \(30\) inches of Yellow Bonnets fabric! Now she’s ready to create a beautiful quilt with a fun mix of bold patterns!
