Question

Lee is making scarfs for a shelter. He purchased 11 skeins of yarn. Each skein has 660 feet of yarn. He needs 200 yards of yarn to make one scarf. How many scarfs can lee make for the shelter

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

skeins of yarn purchased = 11

Feets per skein = 660 feets

Total number of feets purchased = (11 * 660) = 7260 feets

To make a scarf :

1 scarf = 200 yards

Recall :

1 yard = 3 feets

Hence,

1 scarf = (200 *3) = 600 feets

Number of scarf that can be made :

Total feets of yarn / Number of feets per scarf

= 7260 / 600

= 12.1

Hence, number of scarfLee can make for shelter is 12 (nearest whole number)
