Answer:

7 strips

Explanation:

One way we can solve this is through guess and check. Let's start with 4 strips. If Joe's grandma makes 4 strips, she will have 0.75*4 = 3.00 yards of fabric. That's a really low amount of fabric. Let's double that to 8, where Joe's grandma would need 0.75*8 = 6.00 yards of fabric. That's really close! Let's remove one strip. 0.75*7 = 5.25 yards of fabric. Perfect! Joe's grandma can cut exactly 7 strips
