Answer: There are 9 banners that can be made from 12 sections of plastic.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of banners which require
1(1)/(3)=(4)/(3) sections of the plastic = 1

We will use the " Unitary method", we get

Number of banners which require 1 section of the plastic is given by


(3)/(4)

Number of banners which requires 12 sections of the plastic is given by


(3)/(4)* 12\\\=3* 3\\\\=9

Hence, there are 9 banners that can be made from 12 sections of plastic.
