Answer:

2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.

Explanation:

Given : To tie-dye one T-shirt,
(3)/(8) cup of dye is needed. Orange dye is
(3)/(4) cups.

To find : How many T-shirts can be made using orange dye?

Solution :

Let 'x' T-shirts can be made using orange dye.

Total orange dye is
(3)/(4) cups.

Cup of dye needed for 1 shirt is
(3)/(8) cup

For number of cup needed for x shirt is
(3)/(8)x cup

i.e.
(3)/(8)x=(3)/(4)


x=(3* 8)/(4* 3)


x=2

Therefore, 2 T-shirts can be used using orange dye.
