Answer:
17/60 yards of scarf
Explanation:
If 5 friends each had one part of a scarf that's 1 and 5/12 yards long what fraction of the scarf could each friend knit
To solve the above question:
5 friends = 1 5/12 yards
1 friend = x yards
Cross Multiply
5 × x = 1 × 1 5/12 yards
x = 17/12 yards ÷ 5
x = 17/12 yards × 1/5
x = 17/60 yards of scarf
