Petra can make 8 costumes with 12 yards of fabric

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Petra was given 12 yards of fabric to make costumes for the school play

Each costume requires 1\frac{1}{2} yards

<em><u>To find: number of costume Petra can make</u></em>

The number of costume Petra can make is calculated by dividing the total fabric she has by fabric needed for one costume

\text {number of costume Petra can make }=\frac{\text {total fabric she has }}{\text {fabric needed for one costume }}

Total fabric she has = 12 yards

Fabric needed for 1 costume = 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} yards

Therefore,

\text {number of costume Petra can make }=\frac{12}{3 / 2}=\frac{12}{3} \times 2=8

Thus petra can make 8 costumes with 12 yards of fabric

BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY
adoni [48]

An example of something that doesn't have a solution is something like x+2 = x+3

If we subtract x from both sides, then we end up with 2 = 3, which is always false.

No matter what we plug in for x, the original equation will always be false. The right hand side is always 1 larger than the left side. So that's why we don't have any solutions here.

Side note: equations of this form are known as contradictions (or we could say the equation is inconsistent).

=====================================================

An example of something that has one solution is 3x+2 = 2x+7

Solving this equation leads us to...

3x+2 = 2x+7

3x-2x = 7-2

1x = 5

x = 5

To verify the solution, we plug it back into the original equation

3x+2 = 2x+7

3(5)+2 = 2(5)+7

15+2 = 10+7

17 = 17

We get the same thing on both sides, so we get a true statement. This confirms that x = 5 is the solution to 3x+2 = 2x+7.

=====================================================

An example of an equation with infinitely many solutions is 2x+4 = 2(x+2)

Notice how both sides are the same thing. The 2(x+2) distributes out to get 2x+4

Since we have the exact same identical expression on both sides, this ultimately means no matter what we plug in for x, we'll get a true statement. True statements (like the conclusion at the last section) are simply anything with the same number on both sides after simplifying everything.

Side note: equations of this form are known as identities
