two strips of fabric measures 14 3/4 inches and 20 7/8 inches in length. to form one length, the strips are sown together using 1/2 inch from each strip to make the seam. what is the final length of the fabric after two strips are sewn together

34 5/8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two strips be fabric A and fabric B

Fabric A= 14 3/4 inches

Fabric B = 20 7/8 inches

To form one length, the strips are sown together using 1/2 inch

Length after sewing=

Fabric A - 1/2 inch

= 14 3/4 inches - 1/2 inch

= 59/4 - 1/2

= 59-2 /4

= 57/4 inches

Length after sewing=

Fabric B - 1/2 inch

= 20 7/8 inches - 1/2 inch

= 167/8 - 1/2

= 167-4 /8

= 163/8 inches

Final length of the fabric after two strips are sewn together

= 57/4 inches + 163/8 inches

= 114+163 /8

= 277/8

= 34 5/8 inches

Final length of the fabric after two strips are sewn together= 34 5/8 inches
