Question

Melissa is making clothes for her dolls. She has 7/8 yard of fabric. Each doll shirt requires 2/7 of a yard of fabric. How many whole shirts can she make for her dolls? a. 2 b. 3 c. 4 d. 5

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since you have 7/8 of a yard of fabric and 2/7 needed you would take the 7/8 and divide by 2/7

7/8 / 2/7

Since these are fractions you would take the second number and turn in into its reciprocal

7/8 x 7/2

49/16

3 1/16

You can make 3 full shirts
