Question

A seamstress uses 12 yards of fabric to make 3 costumes for students in the chorus. How many yards will she need to make costumes for all 27 students in the chorus?

Answer 1

108 yards for 27 students

Explanation:

12/3

Step 1: to figure out how many yards it takes to make one costume you have to divide 12 and 3.

12/3= 4

It takes 4 yards to make one costume.

Step 2: to figure out the amount of yards used for 27 students you take 4 yards times 27 students.

4x27= 108
