Brittney has 2 and 3/4 yards of fabric. She wants to make wreaths that require 1/8 yards. What is the maximum number of wreaths she can make?

Sagot :

Answer: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Brittney has 2 and  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] yards of fabric

Converting it to a fraction

[tex]\Rightarrow 2\ \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{8+3}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{11}{4}[/tex]

Wreath require [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] yards

Number of wreaths that can be made

[tex]\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{\frac{11}{4}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{11}{4}\times \dfrac{8}{1}\\\\\Rightarrow n=22[/tex]

She can make 22 wreaths
