4. PRACTICE 12 pillows from 16 yards of the same fabric. How much fabric was used to make each pillow? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

To find out how much fabric was used for each pillow, we simply divide the total fabric used by the number of pillows: 16 yards ÷ 12 pillows = 1.33 yards per pillow. Now, if we want to determine between which two whole numbers this figure lies, we can see that 1.33 is between 1 and 2. So there you go, each pillow used approximately 1.33 yards of fabric, sitting snugly between 1 and 2 yards! If you're looking to make a similar project in the future, always remember to account for seam allowances and any potential fabric waste. It’s easy to underestimate how much fabric you might need if your pillow design includes interesting shapes or embellishments. Happy crafting!
