To solve the equation \( \frac{f}{13} = 14 \), we can first multiply both sides by 13 to isolate \( f \):
\[
f = 14 \times 13
\]
Calculating \( 14 \times 13 \):
\[
14 \times 13 = 182
\]
So, the amount of fabric needed for the whole team is \( f = 182 \) yards.
Now, let's check the answer choices you provided: 42, 10, 3.222, and 58. None of these options are correct based on the calculation. The correct answer is 182 yards.
