1 answer

To find out how much fabric Jimmy has left for his third project, you can start by adding the fabric used for both projects and subtracting that total from the initial amount of fabric Jimmy had.

  1. Fabric used for the first project: 12 feet
  2. Fabric used for the second project: 17 feet

Total fabric used = 12 feet + 17 feet = 29 feet

Now, subtract the total fabric used from the initial amount:

Initial fabric = 36 feet
Remaining fabric = Initial fabric - Total fabric used
Remaining fabric = 36 feet - 29 feet = 7 feet

So, Jimmy has 7 feet of fabric left for his third project.
