Answer 1

NUMBER OF T-SHIRTS

A baby's t-shirt requires 2/7 yards of fabric. How many t-shirts can be made from 28 yards?

Explanation:

To find the number of t-shirts that can be made from 28 yards of fabric, we need to divide the total fabric by the fabric required for each t-shirt.

• Let's denote the number of t-shirts as n.
• The amount of fabric required for each t-shirt is 2/7 yards.

So, the equation to solve is:

`\Large\begin{aligned}\qquad\rm\implies (2)/(7) * n = 28\end{aligned}`

Multiplying both sides by 7/2 to isolate n:

`\Large\begin{aligned}\rm\qquad\quad\implies n = (28 * 7)/(2)\end{aligned}`

Simplifying:

`\Large\begin{aligned}\rm\qquad\qquad\implies n = 98\end{aligned}`

Hence, 98 t-shirts can be made from 28 yards of fabric.
