Length of Time

[Guest]

An afghan is to be crocheted with dimensions of 4 feet X 6 feet. Instructions on the yarn indicate 4 stitches equal 1 inch and 6 rows equal 1 inch.

The person crochets at a rate of 8 stitches per minute.

Calculate length of time needed to crochet the afghan. Thanks.

4 stitches = 1 inch
6 rows = 1 inch
24 stiches in 1 square inch
size is 48 x 72 = 3456 sq inches
3456 x 24 = 82944 stitches
8 stiches per minute
82944 / 8 = 10368 minutes - 7.2 days.
and don't stop to eat or....

OR

72 x 4 = 288
48 x 6 = 288
288 x 288 = 82944 stiches

OR

48 x 4 = 192
72 x 6 = 432
432 x 192 = 82944 stiches
