Question

Sarah is making scarves. She has 10 1/2 yards of fabric to make the scarves. If each scarf requires 4 yards of fabric, how many scarves can Sarah make? PLEASE HELP ​

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

We know 10 1/2 is basically 10.5 or 21/2

To find the max amount of scarves she can make, simply divide the number of yards she has by 4. This will get you the number of scarves she can create.

`(21/2)/(4) = (21)/(2) * (1)/(4) = 21/8 = 2.625`

Well.. we don't want to make .625 of a scarf since that would be ridiculous, so we will round it down to 2 since we can't make 3 either.

The max amount of scarves she can make is 2.
