Ann is cutting fabric to make curtains. She cuts a 4 foot by 6 foot rectangle for the living room, and a 2 foot by 4 foot rectangle for the bedroom. If the bolt of fabric is 16 feet by 12 feet, how much fabric is left in square feet?

How many square feet was the original bolt of fabric? ** First figure out how many square feet the original bolt of fabric was: 16 feet * 12 feet = <<16*12=192>>192 square feet
How many square feet did Ann take for the living room curtains? ** Then figure out how much fabric Ann took for the living room curtains: 4 feet * 6 feet = <<4*6=24>>24 square feet
How many square feet did Ann take for the bathroom curtains? ** Then figure out how much fabric Ann took for the bathroom curtains: 2 feet * 4 feet = <<2*4=8>>8 square feet
How many square feet is left? ** Finally, subtract the square footage of both sets of curtains from the total square footage: 192 - 24 - 8 = <<192-24-8=160>>160 square feet
