Answer:

She can trim 19 sweaters.

Explanation:

Kayla has a particular pattern in which she needs 3 ounces of white yarn.

That is in order to make a sweater of that particular pattern she requires white wool = 3 ounces

Kayla has total white wool = 57 ounces

one sweater requires = 3 ounces

number of sweater =
(total wool)/(wool required for one sweater)

=
(57)/(3) = 19

She can trim 19 sweaters with the Yarn she has on hand
