Question

Amy needs 1.75 meters of fabric to make a skirt for her

daughter's costume, Amy is planning to make skirts for a
few other girls also. If she buys 10 meters of fabric, how
many skirts can she make?

Answer 1

• 1 skirt need=1.75m
• She bought=10m

Total skirts can be made

• 10/1.75
• 5.7

She can make 5 skirts

If we round it comes 6 but it's fabric so limited

Answer 2

5 skirts

Explanation:

Given information:

• 1 skirt uses 1.75 m of fabric
• Amy buys 10 m of fabric

To calculate how many skirts she can make, divide the total amount of fabric (10 m) by the fabric it takes to make one skirt (1.75 m):

⇒ 10 ÷ 1.75 = 5.7142857...

Therefore, Amy can make 5 skirts from 10 m of fabric.

Leftover fabric = 10 - (5 × 1.75) = 1.25

Therefore, Amy will have 1.25 m of fabric left over (which is not enough to make a full skirt).
