Question

Shelly has a roll of fabric and decides to make some scarves for her friend the roll contains 6 2/3 yards of fabric she needs 5/6 of a yard for each scarf how many scarves can she make the answer choices are

A: 5
B:6
C:7
D:8

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Total length of the fabric is
`6(2)/(3)=(20)/(3)\ \text{yards}`

We need to find the number of scarves can she make if she needs 5/6 of a yard for each scarf.

Let she needs x scarves. So, ATQ

`x* (5)/(6)=(20)/(3)\\\\x=(20)/(3)\cdot(6)/(5)\\\\x=8`

Hence, she can make 8 scarves.
