Question

The drama teacher is making bandannas for costumes. She is cutting half yard of fabric into six bandannas of the same size. Right and solve an equation to find how much fabric will be for each bandanna?

Answer 1

Each bandanna will require 1/12 (or 0.0833) yards of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much fabric each bandanna will be, we need to divide the half yard of fabric by the number of bandannas. In this case, we have half a yard of fabric and want to make six bandannas. We can set up an equation:

Length of fabric for each bandanna = half yard / number of bandannas = 1/2 / 6 = 1/12 yards

So, each bandanna will require 1/12 (or 0.0833) yards of fabric.
