Question

Justin bought some yarn from his favorite craft store. He can make one scarf with 3/5 of a ball of yarn. If he purchases 15 balls of yarn, how many scarves Can he make

Answer 1

He can make 25 scarves from 15 balls of yarn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Yarn used for one scarf = $\frac{3}{5}$ of a ball

Yarn purchased = 15 balls

Let,

x be the number of scarves.

Yarn used for one scarf*number of scarves = Yarn purchased

$\frac{3}{5}x=15$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{5}{3}$

$\frac{5}{3}*\frac{3}{5}x=15*\frac{5}{3}\\x=\frac{75}{3}\\x=25$

He can make 25 scarves from 15 balls of yarn.
