Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using elimination, and fill in the blanks.

let f be the female costumes and m be the male costumes:

3f + 4m = 48

3f + 2m = 36

solve simultaneous equations

2m = 12

male = 6 metres

sub vale back in

3f + 2m = 36

3f + (2×6) = 36

3f + 12 = 36

3f = 24

f = 8 metres

each female costume requires 8 metres of fabric and every male costume requires 6 metres of fabric.
