Question

Olivia has 4 2/3 yards of fabric to make scarves. She needs 3/4 yards for one scarf. How many

scarves can she make?​

Answer 1

6 scarves

Explanation:

So we know that 3/4 yd. = 1 (scarf)

We have 4 2/3 material to make the scarves

=> convert to an improper fraction 4 2/3 = 14/3

=> Divide material by needed amt.

=> 14/3 / 3/4 = 14/3 x 4/3

=> 14/3 x 4/3 = 56/9

56/9 = 6 2/9

But 6 2/9 is not our answer. Since we need a full amt. of scraves, we round down to our final answer of 6 scarves.

Hope this helps!
