Question

Larry has 9 yards of fabric. He will use 2 yards to make each vest. How many vests

can Larry make?

Answer 1

9/2 or 4.5 vests

Explanation:

Answer 2

4 vests

Explanation:

Larry has 9 yards of fabric, in which 2 are needed to make a vest.

Divide 9 with 2: 9/2 = 4.5

However, note that you cannot have half a vest, so you must round down.

4.5 becomes 4.

4 vests is the maximum Larry can make with 9 yards of fabric.
