Where is he cutting the 3 yards from?
If it is from the 8 yds, that won't work because you have cut 7 yards first.
The length of a piece of fabric is 8y yards. Landon cuts 7 yards from it to make some cushion covers. He then cuts another 3y yards to make a curtain. The remaining material is cut into 4 equal pieces. How long is each piece?
