SALUTE to all of you who figured out how to come up with 7/8 of a yard ... I get all weirded out with tenths of a foot, too ... all I can figure is: someone who is asking for tenths of a foot don 't really know how big a foot is, anyway. I LOVE math because it does make good sense, but ONLY to a point <g>

if you get the fractions/decimals small enough, you can jury rig anything! LOL <wave>
I LOVE math ... :roll: I really do! I can feel the desire to start pushing a pencil and dinking around with numbers, but I must control myself and sew something or fold laundry or something!
this is all so cool to watch the math geniuses among us strutting their stuff ... I am in awe, even if I may have to give up one of my favorites maxims of life <wave>
