    38.5 yards used

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Yes he has enough fabric

    to get the answer you must take the total number of dresses (8) and multiply it by 3 1/2 (3.5) because thats how much it takes to create one dress.

    3.5 x 8 = 28

    Now take the number of scarfs (14) and multiply it by 3/4 (0.75) because thats now much it takes to create a single scarf

    0.75 x 14 = 10.5

    now you add both of the answers

    10.5 + 28 = 38.5

    since 38.5 < 40 it means that he has enough fabric to create all the costumes for the musical
