Answer:

18 yards of material needed to make 24 shirts

Explanation:

The unit rate is

1 shirt

------------------------------ = 1 1/3 shirts per yard of material = 4/3 shirt/yard

0.75 yards material

This rate could also be written as 3/4 yard per shirt

Multiply this latter rate by 24 shirts:

3 yard

-------------- * 24 shirts = 18 yards of material needed to make 24 shirts

4 shirt
