Question

Brittney has 2 and 3/4 yards of fabric. She wants to make wreaths that require 1/8 yards. What is the maximum number of wreaths she can make?

Answer 1

Answer: 22

Explanation:

Given

Brittney has 2 and
`(3)/(4)` yards of fabric

Converting it to a fraction

`\Rightarrow 2\ (3)/(4)=(8+3)/(4)\\\\\Rightarrow (11)/(4)`

Wreath require
`(1)/(8)` yards

Number of wreaths that can be made

`\Rightarrow n=((11)/(4))/((1)/(8))\\\\\Rightarrow n=(11)/(4)* (8)/(1)\\\\\Rightarrow n=22`

She can make 22 wreaths
