Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the fabric is $6\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{20}{3}\ \text{yards}$

We need to find the number of scarves can she make if she needs 5/6 of a yard for each scarf.

Let she needs x scarves. So, ATQ

$x\times \dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{3}\cdot\dfrac{6}{5}\\\\x=8$

Hence, she can make 8 scarves.
