Question

JoAnn, a seamstress wants to sell in her boutique. She needs 1 yards of cloth and she has a piece of cloth 360 ft in length. How many blouses can she make from the piece of cloth.

Answer 1

To answer this question we need to remember that one yard is equal to 3 ft. Then we divide the total lenght in ft by three to know how many yards we have:

`(360)/(3)=120`

Then we have 120 yd of cloth; since each blouse need 1 yard we can make 120 blouses.
