Answer 1

16 dresses

Explanation:

you can make 16 because when you divide the length of cloth (40 ft) by 2.5 (2 ft 6in) you get 16

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

We know 6 inches is .5 of a foot

1 ft = 12 inches

6 inches /12 inches = 1/2 ft

Take 40 ft and divide by 2.5

40 ÷ 2.5 =16

We can make 16 dresses
