Answer 1

divided by 3/8 is ?

It's easier for me to use a decimal.

`(9)/(.375)` = 24 banners

Explanation:

Answer 2

Number of banners which can be made by senior class using 9 yards of banner material which they bought is 24.

Solution:

The banner material bought by senior class for their float = 9 yards

Number of banners which can be made using
`(3)/(8)` yards = 1

So number of banner which can be made using 1 yard =
`(1)/((3)/(8))=(8)/(3) banner`

So number of banner which can be made using
`1 * 9` yards =
`(8)/(3) * 9`

= 24 banners

Hence number of banners which can be made by senior class using 9 yards of banner material which they bought is 24.
