Question

how many headbands can the students make if one headband takes 7 beads, 9 inches of ribbon, and 3 buttons.... and the total amount of material you have is 6,437 beads, 3,636 buttons, and 3,870 inches of ribbon???

Answer 1

I would divide each total amount of material by the material needed to make a single headband.

6437/7=919.57

3636/3=1212

3870/9=430

After 430 headbands they will be out of ribbon, so that is how many they can make
