A sewing club used 48 feet of fabric to make 8 blankets. At this rate how many blankets can be made from 6 yards of fabric?

Sagot :

48f=8b
÷8    ÷8 (divided by 8)
6f=b
it takes 6 feet of fabric to make 1 blanket 
6f=1b                                                             3f=y
36f=6b
12y=6b

it takes 12 yards to make 6 blankets

Answer:

With 6 yards can made 3 blankets

Step-by-step explanation:

First it is necessary to convert 6 yards into feets. This is calculate using a rule of three in which 1 yard is equivalent to 3 feets, so how many feets are 6 yards. This is:

1 yard ------------------ 3 feet

6 yards ---------------- X

Where X is the number of feets that are equal to 6 yards. Then X is equal to:

[tex]X=\frac{6 yards* 3 feets}{1 yard} = 18 feets[/tex]

Then, using a rule of three, if the sewing club made 8 blankets with 48 feet, then how many blankets could be made with 18 feets. This is:

8 Blankets -------------- 48 feet

       Y        --------------  18 feets

Where Y is the number of blankets that could be made with 18 feets. Solving for Y, we get:

[tex]Y=\frac{8 Blankets*18 feets}{48 feets} = 3 Blankets[/tex]

So, with 6 yards or 18 feets of fabric the sewing club can made 3 blankets.
