Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Samantha needs 4/5 yard of fabric to make costumes for the school play.
Let x represent the number of yards of fabric that she has
Let y represent the total number of costumes that she can make from x yards of fabric.
Since one costume require 4/5 yards of fabric, y costumes will require
x ÷ 4/5 = x×5/4 = 5x/4
The equation will be
y = 5x/4
to find how many costumes she can make with 8 yards of fabric, it becomes
y = (5×8)/4
y = 40/4 = 10
