Question

Q # 9 please help to solve

Answer 1

Paul can make 8 tablecloths. 18.5 divided by 2.25 (or 2 and 1/4) is 8.22.

Answer 2

For this case we can solve the problem by making the following rule of three:
2 1/4 yards --------------> 1 tablecloth
18.5 yards ---------------> x
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

`x = (18.5)/(2 (1)/(4) ) * (1) x = 8.22`
Rounding the value of x to the nearest integer we have:

`x = 8`

he can make 8 tablecloths
