I can't figure out for the life of me! I don't know how I manage to make quilts, my math is so bad! Any helpers?

My basic math tells me 48.25 yards.

Each is 1/4 yard, so 193 divided by 4 = 48.25

Just think of it as how many $$ is 193 quarters! Maybe money will help LOL

Hi Just divide it by 4 and you get 48 and 1/4 yds.

Every 4 would make a yard, so 193 divided by 4 would be 48 1/4? I hope I'm not as stupid as I feel sometimes.

OK well the reason I asked is there is an eBay for 193 Asian Fat Quarters for $80.50 with $9.99 shipping. So how much would that be a yard?

I brought this book titled "Revised Patchwork Minus Mathwork" It is a quilters guide for planning and buying fabric that has all the yardage or number of fat quarters you would need and how many square and so forth you can get from a yard of fabric as well as fat quarters and pre-cuts.
