Jennie makes quilts. She can make 7 quilts with 21 yards of material. How many yards of material would be required to make 12 quilts?

21 yards = 7 quilts

21 yards ÷ 7 quilts = 3 yards per quilt

3 yards × 12 quilts = 36 yards


36 yards of material would be required to make 12 quilts.

(7)/(21) = (12)/(yards) \\ \\ 7*yards=21*12 \\ \\ 7yards=252 \\ \\ yards=36
