Answer:

You need 14 19/24 inches of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll need a common denominator between 2/3, 1/2, and 5/8. 24 is the least (lowest) common denominator.

3 x 8 = 24, so we multiply the numerator and denominator by 8 and  6 2/3 becomes 6 16/24ths

2 x 12 = 24, so we multiply the numerator and denominator by 12, and 4 1/2 becomes 4 12/24

8 x 3 = 24, so we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3, and 3 5/8 becomes 3 15/24.

Now we are adding 6 16/24 + 4 12/24 + 3 15/24

6 16/24 + 4 12/24 + 3 15/24 = 6 + 4 + 3 + 16/24 + 12/24 + 15/24

= 13 + 43/24 = 14 19/24
