Question

If it takes 4 balls of yarn to make 8 caps? how many balls of yarn for 6 caps

Answer 1

1 ball of yarn makes 2 caps.

2 balls of yarn makes 4 caps and so on.

If it takes 4 balls of yarn to make 8 caps, then it takes 3 balls of yarn to make 6 caps.

How?

3 × 2 = 6.

3 is balls of yarn, 2 is caps made per ball of yarn.

Hope this helped! :D

Answer 2

The answer will be 3

If you Divide 4 into 8 you will get the constant rate of yarn per caps. You multiple the dividend time the number of caps, 6 and then you will get your answer!

Equation/set up:

4/8 = 0.5     (constant rate: 0.5)

0.5 * 6 = 3

3 ball of yarn make 6 caps!
