Answer:

If Mia spent $66 buying fabric that costs $7.50 per yard then they would have bought 8.8 yards of fabric. Take the amount spent and divide it by the price per yard. 66/7.50=8.8 yards

Answer: 8.8

Explanation:

Total amount spent on fabric= $66

Cost per yard of the fabric= $7.50

To know the amount of yards that Mia buys, we divide the total amount Mia spent on fabric by the cost per yard of the fabric. This will be:

$66/$7.50 = 8.8

Mia bought 8.8 yards of fabric.

To know my answer is correct and reasonable, I will multiply 8.8 by 7.5 to know if I'll get the total amount Mia spent on the fabric.

$8.8 × 7.5= $66
