Kiswah?

9) To make the kiswah, you need 670 kilograms of pure silk. This quantity is turned into
47 panels of cloth, each of a length of 14 metres. Other requirements include 120 kgs
gold and about 50 kgs silver for lettering. The kiswah measures 658 square metres and
costs about 17 million in the local currency. What is the kiswah?
