Question

jackie is making costumes. she will cut 6 rolls of fabric that are each 20 yards long into to 2 1/2 yard lengths. how many pieces of fabric can she cut the 6 rolls?

Answer 1

48 pieces

Explanation:

Lets set up the equation first.

20 yards x 6 rolls / 2 1/2 yard lengths

First, lets multiply 20 yards by 6 rolls

20 x 6 = 120 yards yards in total

Lastly, lets divide 120 by 2 1/2 or 2.5

120 / 2.5 = 48

So, Jackie can get 48 pieces of fabric
