Kaitlyn is making a quilt. She purchased a 46 foot long piece of lace to sew around the edges of the quilt. She needs 322 inches of lace for the quilt. How many feet of lace will be leftover?

19.17 foot

19 foot (to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Kaithlyn has purchased 46 foot long piece of lace.

She needs 322 inches of lace for the quilt.

Since we are required to find the length of lace remaining in foot, we simple convert all units to foot before carrying out our calculations.

12 inches = 1 foot

322 Inches = 322: 12 = 26.83 foot

Her remaining length of lace

=Total Length - Length Used

=46-26.83

=19.17 foot

=19 foot (to the nearest whole number)
