Answer:

6blankets

Explanation:

First let us find the rate of work done by the sewing club;

Rate =
(number of blankets)/(length of fabric)

Number of blankets = 8

Length of fabric used = 48ft

Rate =
(8)/(48) = 0.17blanket/ft

Now to find the number of blankets:

Number of blankets = Rate x length of fabric

length of fabric = 12yards;

Convert yards to feet;

1 yard = 3ft

12yards = 3 x 12 = 36ft

So;

Number of blankets = 0.17blanket/ft x 36ft = 6blankets
