Question

Margaret has 16 yards of fabric and she is making dresses for z doll write the expression for the length of fabric used for each doll

Answer 1

The expression for the length of fabric used for each doll is $\frac{16}{z}\ yards$

Solution:

Given that,

Margaret has 16 yards of fabric

she is making dresses for z doll

Therefore,

Total length of fabric = 16 yards

Number of dresses = z dolls

Therefore,

$\text{ length of fabric used for each doll } = \frac{ \text{ Total length of fabric }} {\text{ z dolls }}\\\\\text{ length of fabric used for each doll } = \frac{16}{z}\ yards$

Thus, the expression for the length of fabric used for each doll is $\frac{16}{z}\ yards$
